eShopping

Most major publishers operate according to an "agency model," in which the publisher sets the price to the consumer and ALL retailers (indies, chains, Amazon) agree to sell that e-book at that price to the consumer.

This means that most of our eBooks sell at the same price as Amazon sells them. 

This also means that we cannot extend our Frequent Buyer Card discount to eBook purchases.

When books are not under an agency plan, we have priced them just a little above cost in order to build our share of this market. If you find e-book prices that are substantially below ours, that retailer is selling below its cost. Gibson's will never sell below cost for any reason.

Google eBooks cannot be returned once purchased, unless it can be shown and demonstrated that there is a corruption or flaw in the originally downloaded file that prevents its use.

Our eCommerce transactions are hosted through IndieCommerce.

The following is the IndieCommerce security statement:

Security Statement
To protect the security of the information you give us when you order online, the IndieCommerce family of sites uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. SSL encrypts your information so that no one other than IndieCommerce sites will be able to decode it. SSL establishes a secure connection between your computer and our computers, and that connection remains secure until you complete or cancel an order.
How will you know if your connection is secure? Simply check the lower left or right corner of your browser window after you access the server. If you see a closed lock or an unbroken key (depending on what browser you are using), SSL is working.
