Amazon Associates Program

Boocu (free.boocu.com) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and its international variants (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, etc.).

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on book links on our website and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission from Amazon. This commission comes at no additional cost to you - you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.

These affiliate commissions help us:

  • Maintain and improve our website
  • Continue providing free book recommendations
  • Cover operational costs such as hosting and development
  • Invest in better tools for book discovery and curation

Our Editorial Independence

Our book recommendations are based on editorial merit and our proprietary ranking algorithms, not on potential affiliate earnings. We feature books because we believe they offer value to our readers, regardless of commission rates.

Key principles we follow:

  • Editorial First: Books are selected based on quality, popularity trends, and reader interest
  • Transparency: We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships
  • Reader Focus: Our primary goal is helping readers discover great free books
  • No Pay-for-Play: Authors and publishers cannot pay for featured placement

Free Books and Pricing

While we focus on free books, please note:

  • Book prices on Amazon can change frequently and without notice
  • A book that is free when we feature it may have a price when you visit Amazon
  • Free promotions are typically time-limited
  • Prices may vary by region and Amazon marketplace
  • Always verify the price on Amazon before downloading or purchasing

Other Affiliate Relationships

Currently, our primary affiliate relationship is with Amazon. If we establish relationships with other book retailers or services in the future, we will update this disclosure accordingly and maintain the same standards of transparency.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We are committed to honest and transparent communication with our readers about any financial relationships that might influence our content.

Your Support

By using our affiliate links when you decide to purchase books, you're supporting Boocu at no extra cost to yourself. This support allows us to continue providing free book discovery services to the reading community.

However, we want to emphasize that:

  • You are never obligated to use our affiliate links
  • Our recommendations remain the same regardless of affiliate earnings
  • You can always go directly to Amazon or other retailers
  • Our primary goal is helping you find great books to read
