Information on Jiva E-Books

Where Can I Get E-Books From Jiva Publications?

We offer e-books at our store. Additionally, we also sell our e-books on Amazon and Apple Books.

Buying in our store instead of Amazon or Apple has the following advantages for you:

  • Price: you receive a discount if you have purchased the printed book or audio lectures corresponding to that e-book. Also, we offer discounts for people living in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
  • Future discounts: after buying the e-book, you will receive a discount if you want to buy the printed book or audio lectures corresponding to that e-book.
  • No vendor lock-in: After purchasing once you will have access to two files: .epub and .mobi so that you are free to choose on which device and with which software you prefer to read.

Can I get a Discount If I Have Purchased the Print Book or Audio Classes?

We offer a discount for every e-book you buy at jiva.org. We cannot offer discounts for purchases in the Amazon and Apple Books market places. Please reach out to store at jiva.org by email.

Additionally, when you buy in our store then you get access to both files, whereas on Amazon and Apple books you get only one file format, which is used by the respective vendor.
