INTRODUCTION
Lektu is a Spanish e-commerce website where you can buy or download for free thousands of books and other kind of media files. Also, you can buy "physical books". Currently, the site is not translated into English. However, Lektu is a very good place for selling very short stories or free ebook in a reliable platform, since you can "sell" books for free, letting the customer to pay what they wish or paying by publishing a tweet or a post in Facebook (Social Payment). As the English version of my prequel is published in Lektu, I have written this short guide addressed to English speakers.
(NOTE: After publishing this entry, I have detected a few stupid typos in the texts included in the pictures. I will correct them bit a bit. Sorry.)
(NOTE 2: If you click in the images, they will be shown enlarged.)
HOW TO REGISTER IN LEKTU
In order to buy or download ebooks from Lektu, the first step is to register. Enter in the main URL:
and, after, press REGISTRO in the upper part of the web that I have marked in red.
There are four alternatives for registering.
- By Facebook. Just press the button and give the appropriate permissions. I never used this kind of registering, but if your Facebook account is configured to English, then the information will be shown in that language.
- By Twitter. Same remarks than for the Facebook registering.
- By Google Account. Really, I never used that option.
- Usual register: email and password.
Here is a translation of the registering form.
If you are going to register by Facebook, Twitter or Google Account, you can pass to the next section: "how to download by social payment". For the usual registering, keep reading. Simply, fill the form, ensuring that you have entered an email you can access, since you will have to validate your account by a link in an email that Lektu will send to you.
You will be redirected to this page:
The last step is that you will receive an email that I translate here
Once pressed the button in the email, the registering process is completed successfully.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD BY SOCIAL PAYMENT
In order to clarify the process, I will download an English ebook that seems interesting (I have not read it at this moment, of course). I will pay for it by a Twitter publication. The page of the book is this one:
Press the button DESCARGAR and then, you will be redirected to this page:
Below the button YA ESTOY REGISTRADO will appear a login form. Just use the login method that you will prefer and press the appropriate button (for Facebook or Twitter the buttons with the logos of each social network) or the button called ENTRAR (enter) below the boxes where you will write your email (Correo electrónico) and password (Contraseña). You will be redirected, in case of using the email/password system to a very similar page, but with two new options
After pressing "Twitter" button, you will be redirected to this page, where you will be able to change the text that will be included in your tweet.
After pressing the button PUBLICAR, the system will connect to your Twitter account (if you are logged to Twitter, the process is automatic) and will publish your tweet. You will be redirected to the final page:
Each download button will open a new tab in your browser. Once downloaded your products, simply log off in Mi cuenta > Salir. This menu is in the right upper part, at the side of a circle enclosing a person with a tie. The email that you will receive with the information with your order will be like this one:
And the tweet published is this one (I will never delete it):
That's all. Enjoy with your new ebooks and if you liked this tutorial, visit my author's page in Lektu.
