Before you buy.
Which devices is it made for?
The e-ink file is 157 x 210 mm, the 3:4 proportion of the reMarkable 2, reMarkable Paper Pro, Kindle Scribe, Boox Note Air and Supernote A5 X2, so the page fills the screen without zooming. We have not opened the file on a physical device: the sample with the first three chapters is free, so you can try it on yours before you buy.
Is this the whole novel?
Yes. All eight books and 81 chapters, 786 pages including the cover on page 1, and the author's dedication and his three footnotes. The check script compares every chapter with the source text word for word: 81 of 81 chapters verified.
The text is free on Project Gutenberg. What am I paying for?
The typesetting. The same text is available free of charge as an EPUB from Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks. Here you get a PDF made for an e-ink page: 13 pt serif, 27 lines to a page, no hyphenation, page numbers, a linked table of contents and a Contents link on every page.
Can I print it?
Yes. The A4 and US Letter files carry the same 786 pages as the e-ink file, centred on the sheet. Print at 100 percent or actual size rather than fit to page.
How is the download protected?
By links signed for your purchase. After the payment our licence service checks with Stripe that the order is paid and only then hands out download links. They work for 7 days on this page and 30 days in the e-mail; after that, write to support@arling.sk and we send fresh ones.
The unlock is remembered in this browser, so you can come back to this page later on the same device and the links are still here. Clearing the site data of this browser forgets it; keep the files once you have downloaded them.
Why buy here and not on Etsy?
The price is the same, 4.90 € either way. The difference is on our side: Stripe keeps 1.5 percent plus 0.25 € of the payment, Etsy about 10 percent, so buying here leaves more of your money with the people who made the book. If you would rather buy where your other purchases are, the Etsy listing is linked above and is exactly the same book.
Do I get a receipt?
Yes. The seller (merchant of record) is Link (Sold through Link, LLC) through the Stripe Managed Payments service; ARLing s. r. o. supplies the product. At checkout you will see “Sold through Link”, your bank statement will show LINK.COM* ARLING, and Link sends you the receipt. The checkout has no field for a company VAT number; the receipt uses the name and address entered at checkout.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. As a consumer you can withdraw within 14 days without giving a reason, as our terms say in section 5: write to support@arling.sk or use the withdrawal form, and we refund you within 14 days by the same payment method. If a file is broken or a puzzle is wrong, write to us and we put it right. If you bought it on Etsy, ask through your Etsy order and Etsy handles the refund.
That is the law, not our customer service. The sample is free precisely so you can decide before paying. If a file is broken or never arrived, write to support@arling.sk and we will fix it or send the money back, because that is a different thing from changing your mind.
