You already wrote it. Publish it once.

Sound familiar?

• “Sir, please send the handout” Forty times a semester, on your phone, at night.
• Photocopies that go out of date You revise the notes; the campus photocopy version never changes.
• No idea if anyone read page 30 You can't see which sections students struggle with until the exam results.

None of that is a teaching problem. It is a distribution problem.

How it works

1. Send the file you already have. Word, PDF, even a scanned handout — WhatsApp is fine to start.
2. We clean it up and publish it under your name. You approve the preview before anything goes live.
3. Students buy at the price you set. Delivery and payment are handled, and you can withdraw your material at any time.

What you get

• Your material reaches the students who miss lectures The ones who need it most are usually the ones who never ask you directly.
• One authoritative version Publish a revision and every future reader gets the current version. Old copies stop being the default.
• See what students don't understand How many students are reading, which sections they return to, and the questions they keep asking — in aggregate, before the exam.
• No production cost, no chasing Students get it on their phones the moment they pay. You stop arranging photocopies.
• A verified author profile Your name, department and material, clearly attributed as yours — not an anonymous PDF in a WhatsApp group.

Your reach stops being one campus

You publish to the students in front of you, but what you wrote is useful to far more of them. NTEbooks lists material by course code and subject rather than by institution, so your work is not locked to one department, one level, or one academic year.

• Beyond the institution you teach at A student taking the same course at another university — or retaking it — finds your material by its course code, the same way your own students do.
• Surfaced to people doing related work Lecturers, postgraduate students and researchers working on the same subjects search by course code and topic. A match puts your material in front of them with your name and department attached.
• Recognition that accumulates A verified author profile that grows with every title you publish, and reach you can point to — in a promotion file or a CV. Not an anonymous PDF in a group chat.

Cross-institution discovery and research matching are what we are building next. What exists today is the public catalogue, organised by course code — and that is what those results will be drawn from.

What you'll be able to see

• How many students are reading Adoption for each course you publish, as it grows.
• Where students stop, and where they come back The sections that get reread before a test — and the ones nobody opens.
• The questions they keep asking Grouped by topic, so you know what to cover again before the exam.
• Your reader count on your profile Proof of reach, attached to your name and department.

There is more we can build here, and we would rather ask you than guess. When we speak, tell us what you would want to know about your readers.

On security — the honest version

You will ask whether your notes will end up everywhere. Here is the straight answer.

• What we do now Your name and department are on the material, and every page of the PDF carries it. Each copy is then stamped with the buyer's name and order reference before it is sent, so a copy that travels is traceable back to the purchase it came from. Students read on their own phones — no app, no plugin, no account to create.
• What we are building next Reading moves inside the NTEbooks app: no download, no export, screenshots blocked wherever the phone allows it, watermarking applied automatically to every reader, and access you can revoke if a copy turns up where it should not.
• What nobody can honestly promise That nothing will ever leak. Anyone can photograph a screen with a second phone, and a determined person can crop a stamp out. Every platform that tells you otherwise is selling you something it cannot deliver.

So: attributable, and traceable to the buyer, yes. Unbreakable, no. We would rather tell you that before you publish than afterwards.

Your textbook is still your textbook

If you sell a printed textbook, keep selling it. NTEbooks is a second channel for the students who can't afford the print run, won't carry a hardcopy around, or read everything on their phone anyway — and a first channel for the handouts you'd otherwise chase students to collect.

You decide what goes up, what it costs, and what stays offline.

How it works for you

1. Apply below. Tell us what you teach and what material you'd consider publishing. A short conversation, not a contract.
2. We set you up. We check the file, scan quality and page order so it reads properly on a phone, and we create your verified profile.
3. You publish and set the price. First course commission-free for 90 days, then you keep 80% of every sale.
4. You get paid and you get data. Payouts go to your bank account automatically. You see purchases and the questions students keep asking.
