1. About Xfolio Publishing Xfolio Publishing is an e-book distribution service for individual authors that handles all genres of self-published magazines. With the desire to bring works by authors and creators to the world and support them, the service provides comprehensive support, including registration tasks with bookstores that are difficult for individuals to handle, distribution mechanisms, and promotional activities on the comprehensive e-book store "BookLive." Additionally, leveraging an industry-leading royalty rate, it has returned over 2.5 billion yen to individual authors for more than 9,000 works to date.
