Question
-
Hello there. I dont know if this should be asked here or somewhere else but anyways. I happen to have some physical editions of jnc (seven seas) light novels, I was wondering if I could also be able to read the digital books in the app?
Sometimes I Just cant bring books for wathever reasons but can still have my Phone. By the way I Just got a membership. -
The app only gives you access to unexpired prepubs, and buying the paperback does not give you access to an ebook. Read this thread to see when volumes expire (usually about 1-2 months after the ebook is published): https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/534/expiring-volumes
Also, go to J-Novel's front page and there's a section that tells you what titles are on catch-up, where all prepubs are available for members.
With your membership, however, you can buy premium ebooks with credits, which you can purchase on your account page. You will then be able to download the DRM-free ebooks and import them to most apps on your phone. -
Unfortunately I haven't really seen any publisher get into the dual-sale digital+physical. I wish they would, because I love reading digitally, but I'm a bit of a collector and like having physical books.
-
Thanks for the answers. I know that the app gives you access only to the latest realeses or the catch ups. My question was for access to the ebooks (answered too). It would be nice if we could buy both, Im mostly a paper reader but Sometimes you cant bring books everywhere.
-
Maybe the solution is to buy an e-reader. I can read books on my phone and on my Kindle (using Calibre) and it means I can get the premium versions of books too.

I seem to recall Baen books doing a electronic version bundled with print hardcovers of some of their stuff
I think that for a while Amazon has a deal where you got a discount on a kindle version on a new release if you purchased the hard copy. But I don’t recall the details of the promotion

Pretty sure it has been answered on CuriousCat. It has something to do with the licencing and the way royalties are worked out or something. I can't quite remember correctly, but I know it has been asked, but I'm not going through the almost 3000 questions to find it lol.

@Gus-The-Snail That functionality exists on Discord, yes. Not on the forum, you can email support@j-novel.club if need be
Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood your message. The JNC Discord link is located here: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/2995/j-novel-club-discord-server/6
You can also upload an image in your forum post

@chocolatkey which area would you like me to post it in?

@Gus-The-Snail I received your email, and tried changing your profile image, and it worked. I think this might have been a caching issue since you mention not getting an error. The profile images are cached for a bit, so it can take a bit for them to update. I am glad to clear that cache for anyone who has issues
