Why is it locked?
We employ a team of editors who ensure that our technology has properly converted each book into its new Literal format. We are also a scrappy young startup looking to make sure that we spend our resources wisely. This means that in some cases we only edit and publish small portions of a book to begin with. This lets us save on costs and helps focus our efforts on completing only the books that paying customers actually want to read.
