Good day

Portuguese language is the sixth/seventh most spoken language in the world, with around 190 million speakers
Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers

On the other hand, when it concerns Internet users by language, Portuguese is on the top 5

Please kindly add Portuguese language, if feasible, on the lulu international option website.

Thank you so very much

Kind regards

 

Two things I would like to see Lulu do

1 Distribute through Kobo

2 HAve some sort of hit counter in the Authors Spotlight so that we know how many times items have been viewed.

The calendars are exquisite and I would love to be able to print some of my picture books for elders on this stock, coil bound. Since the books are just 20 pages or so, the hardcover option is too costly for full color, and the paperback is so small, it does not have the same high quality look/feel.

Thanks!

I'm suggesting Lulu to partner up with Payoneer as many other companies have done. I sell things through another webstore which offers its sellers to get their payments directly onto their Payoneer card, which they can select as option in their settings. If they select Payoneer card as payment method, they will sign up through Payoneer and receive a pre-paid mastercard (of course empty first time received) and once a month the Payoneer mastercard is loaded with any funds earned. This is really great, and a perfect way to receive payments for people who don't have paypal, or for some reason can't take checks. It is also a great service with very low fees for using the card, you can pay with it anywhere that accepts mastercard both online and in the "real world". Personally I use it through Plimus ( http:///www.Plimus.com ) but Payoneer got tons of partners that functions the same way for sellers using them. Payoneer cards can also be loaded directly from Payoneer's website ( http://www.Payoneer.com ) which is an extra added bonus if one are selling other things that are not possible to sell through the partner one are using (such as plimus). I suggest this, and hope others will agree and vote for this excellent payment option!

please adopt the gift card option in lulu to enhance the promotion of lulu books when sending review copies.

Since Lulu changed the Revenue Report to only show the author's cut BEFORE Lulu takes its cut, I have to backtrack and figure out what percentage is mine and this is not only confusing, it encourages mistakes.  Why have you changed the report?  I no longer trust the numbers I am reading on Lulu.  For example, in the last revenue payment to me, my Lulu report online is $80 MORE than the amount I received from Lulu and there is NO WAY FOR ME TO CHECK AND VERIFY MY NUMBERS.  I am not sure I am getting paid the amount that I should be paid.

In addition, since the monthly actual payment is a sum and has no details (#books/mycut/lulucut) I cannot track the payment to the actual sales.

What's up with this new, less detailed Revenue Report ---- sure looks to me like Lulu is (1) hiding something and (2) wants to make sure authors aren't paying much attention to the total percentage of Lulu's cut per book.

I asked twice about this from your email support and STILL DO NOT HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER.

 

Hi

 

am looking into publishing photo books in the 10x8 or even 11x8.5 landscape format and was surprised to see that you only offer 9x7 sizes, which is just to small.

So will have to look some place else. 

 

Lulu should offer to pulish the new iBooks format. Apple's new iBooks Author is a great product to make ebooks but it exports it as an .iBooks format. Please Lulu, please offer to publish the new iBooks format.

Hi,

I recently published an ebook and print copy of "The Faith Dozen" and I had a friend from AZ call me to let me know he could not buy extra copies of my Ebook to send as gifts to friends. Adding DRM to an ebook keeps it on one reader/computer and cannot be shared as we all know. I have noproblem with that. I asked Lulu.com support about maybe adding an option for their shopping cart where anyone buying an ebook can pay in advance and give an email where to send thier gift ebook. I also suggested that print copies could be paid in advance and sent to others with address provided, including shipping as an additional option.

Lulu support suggested I post that Idea here.

So? What do fellow lulu's think?    (I'm all ears).

Have some kind of updating feed that tells you where in the queue your print job is (2 more jobs ahead of you? 10 more? 100 more?) The Processing->Shipping thing is fine, but it doesn't give a good idea of when the order will actually be printed. This would give a better, more accurate estimate. And it could be fun to keep track of... Kinda like the Domino's guy who makes a pizza atop your screen. Thanks!

Lulu should consider making provision for Multi Format eBook Projects.

A Multi Format eBook Project would be one where the Lulu Creator may upload an eBook PDF, a prepared compliant and validated EPUB and also a compliant Kindle MOBI all of a single title.

The multi format eBooks should only be subject to automatic validation processes and not require the attention of manual QA validation or assessment very much as now is the case for a PDF or EPUB sold solely from the Lulu Shop.

A Multi Format eBook Project would only be available for sale from the Lulu Shop and no provision should be made for eBooks in the Multi Format eBook Project to be promoted to distribution outside of Lulu.

A single selling price should be applicable to a Multi Format eBook Project allowing the buyer to download any individual format or all three at any time.

Consideration should be given to allowing Multi Format eBook Projects to be synced with a buyers Drop Box to allow off line downloading.

Consideration should also be given to allowing the purchase of  an associated print book with the same title at a discounted price if made at the same time as purchasing a Multi Format eBook Project.

 

Sync my ebooks with Dropbox and automatically copy all my ebooks to my Dropbox account.

The services that enable shop owners to choose the available countries for distributions.

I'm new and just estimating costs. Lulu has no shipping cost estimator. Customer Support Agent suggests making a dummy order to achieve this!

 

Every courier firm I used (in a previous incarnation) had an estimator. Lulu could simply license the technology and look so much more professional.

 

You're making it hard to be a new customer!

Because sometimes the letters don't stand out enough over cover artwork or photographs, it would be great if a font option was available with the cover wizard, even if it was simply black or white outline. Thanks

Can you help me
Photo books do not support Arabic language
Eagerly await your response
Greetings

I really think Lulu should have a printed option for 100% recycled paper regardless of whether it is for the interior of the book or the cover. As a person who believes in recycling, eco-friendliness (not FSC) and in trying to keep true to the planet, i really think that in this day and age printers should give this option. Lulu is a fantastic service for all writers, however this issue lets them down badly and i feel that it is hard for anyone like me to know that trees are being cut down to publish books when recycled paper options are available. If each writer on here took a stand on this then Lulu would change it's printed copy policy to reflect writers wishes and show support for helping the environment.

To have the facebook, twitter, and other social media icons available on your spotlight page for people to click on. So if they "like" on facebook, it shows on the spotlight page as a counter and shows on their timeline... 

In trying to get a hardback POD solution, there are only a handleful of options.  To get a large 12x12, there's basically Lulu.

 

But for full, quality color needed for illustrations etc in a children's book, my 44 pager is listed at more than $70.  While nice for a few showcase items, noone will buy a book at that price.  

Lulu needs to implement a hardcopy solution for illustrated books (like photobooks) that is affordable with decent quality.
