Signing in and your account

One Sign in window is for signing in and creating an account. Enter your e-mail — sign in with a password, a code from your e-mail or with Google.

Had an account in the previous version of Bookvaib? Sign in with the same e-mail — your books, covers, files and tokens are already in the Library.

Plans, tokens and the free trial

The plans are Start, Pro and Empire — each gives you a monthly token allowance and file storage. Current prices, token amounts and what each plan includes are on the Pricing page.

  • The first 14 days of a plan are free, with the full token allowance — once per account and once per card.
  • Tokens from every paid period stay on your account even after you cancel.
  • Out of tokens? Buy a pack: click your balance in the top bar.
  • Tokens are only taken for a successful AI result — the price is on the button before you click.

Changing or cancelling your plan, invoices

  1. Click your token balance in the top bar and open Plan and tokens.
  2. Choose Manage subscription — change the plan or card, download invoices or turn off renewal there.

After cancelling, your plan works until the end of the paid period. A plan change applies from the next period; moving up adds the token difference right away.

My data and deleting my account

In the account menu open Profile → Account: download all your data (export) or ask for your account to be deleted. Details: Privacy policy.

Your first book

  1. In the Library click New.
  2. Choose Book (or Book with a guide — it takes you through every stage, from niche to publishing).
  3. Set the binding, size and title — the book opens with a cover and pages you write on straight away.

Everything saves by itself. Go back to the Library with ‹ Library in the top bar.

Uploading a manuscript (DOCX, PDF, EPUB)

Library → New → Upload a file. Bookvaib recognises chapters, footnotes and pictures and turns the file into text you edit on the pages.

Have a print-ready interior PDF? Choose A finished print interior — the pages stay as they are, and you add the cover in the Studio or upload a finished one.

A KDP cover

The cover always has the right size for KDP: the spine follows the page count and paper (the Book menu). Place templates, text, shapes and pictures as in a graphics editor; Full cover in the bottom bar shows back, spine and front together.

  • Your own ISBN and barcode on the back (Pro plan and up): click the barcode area on the back cover.
  • The RGB / CMYK switch in the bottom bar shows how the cover will print — usually darker than on screen.
  • Cover files (PDF, PNG, JPG at 300 DPI): Export.

The KDP check and print files

Next to Export is the check button: it keeps checking margins, bleed, image resolution, type and page count against the KDP rules. Click a note to jump to the problem.

Export gives you the print interior (PDF), the e-book (PDF and EPUB), a Word file (DOCX) and the cover files.

AI in the Studio and prices

AI tools are marked with a diamond. Click AI in the toolbar to see the tools for what you have open: chapter, short text, proofreading, translation, illustrations, cover art.

  • The price in tokens is on the button before you run it.
  • Tokens are only taken for a successful result; a failed job costs nothing.
  • AI images need a plan.

An audiobook from your book

The Audiobook button in the book toolbar (Pro plan and up) opens a wizard: chapters, voice, pace, free samples and the price before you start. Listen to the finished recording in the book and download it as MP3.

On Empire you can record with ElevenLabs voices on your own ElevenLabs account (paste the key in Profile → Account).

Autosave and working offline

Every change is saved in your browser at once and on your account a moment later. If the connection drops, nothing is lost — changes are sent when it comes back.

From the Pro plan the Studio also works fully offline: open your recent books and keep writing. If the same book changed on another device meanwhile, the Studio asks which version to keep.

Listing your book in the Marketplace

  1. At the book choose List on the Marketplace — the e-book file, cover and details come from the book.
  2. Set a price (dollars, zloty or kronor) or give a store link, e.g. Amazon.
  3. Send it for review — once approved, the book is visible in the Marketplace.

The author gets 85% of the price. Changing a published listing sends it back for review.

Books you bought

A book you bought is in your Library (sign in with the e-mail used for payment): read it in the Studio, listen to it and download it. It stays there for good — even if the author withdraws it from the store.

The file carries a purchase mark: you may print it, but not copy or change it.

Payouts for authors

See your sales and share in Profile → Sales; enter your payout details there too. We pay out by bank transfer.

Bookvaib in Claude and ChatGPT (MCP)

MCP is how an AI chat connects to an app. Once Bookvaib is connected, you can ask Claude or ChatGPT to read a chapter, add text to your book, check it for KDP or work out the spine and royalties — the chat works on your Library. Available on the Empire plan.

https://bookvaib.com/mcp · Claude · ChatGPT

  1. Claude: click Add to Claude — the add-connector window opens with the name and address filled in. Click Add, then Connect and sign in to Bookvaib.
  2. ChatGPT: click Open ChatGPT, choose + → Add custom MCP server, paste the copied address, pick OAuth sign-in and sign in to Bookvaib.
  3. On the Bookvaib page decide what the chat may do (read, write, AI tools for tokens).
