Your own imported books

Anything you import stays yours and stays private to your account. We do not share it, index it for anyone else, or fold it into the shared library, and we deliberately do not deduplicate it against another account's copy. A shared copy would make us the publisher of your book instead of the place you keep it.

Something here is yours and should not be?

Our copyright and takedown page has the address, what a notice needs, and a form. We take it down first and ask questions after.
