Golgotha Graphics eBooks are are published in fixed-layout EPUB format, and sold though two platforms – both of which offer free previews, which should allow you to test whether the eBooks work on your device, and within your choice of reading application:
Golgotha Graphics Direct Edition: eBooks are sold via FastSpring, and are DRM-Free. They may be purchased on any device with a web browser, and read in any application capable of reading Fixed-Layout EPUB – iBooks / Apple Books on Apple devices, or Thorium on Apple devices, Windows, Linux etc, to name two.
Please be aware, that some eBook readers may not correctly support left-right spread pagination, Calibre for example, or cover on the right when displaying two-page spreads.
Books sold through FastSpring require an email address to be provided to FastSpring, who will send an email containing links to download the files. Those links expire after a week. However, if an errata update is made, those links will become active again, and redirect to the new version of the file which can be downloaded without a new purchase.
Some Direct Edition books have the option of a “LoFi” version. This is the same book, but with pages compressed using JPEG, rather than PNG compression. The visual difference is very minor, and is mostly restricted to some faint banding on page backgrounds (not the actual panel art itself). The LoFi versions are about 1/3rd of the size in terms of download and storage, and are provided for the benefit of people with resource-constrained devices.
Updates will be announced on the blog here, for which an RSS feed is available..
Apple Books Edition: These have now been retired, and withdrawn from sale. Previous purchasers should still be able to download them from Apple, but there will be no new sales, nor will any updates be added.
Purchasers of Apple Books Editions can contact us, and upon verification of the original sale, will be eligible for a complimentary download of a Direct Edition version.
Regardless of the platform, or DRM status, the consent conditions of the sale are that you will respect the copyright notices contained within, and not duplicate, share, or in any way, increase the total number of extant simultaneous possessors of the works. If you obtain an instance of any of Matt Godden’s books, that individual instance must have been purchased via Golgotha Graphics’ official channels.
