A public domain book is one that is not covered by intellectual property rights or copyright, usually because the rights have expired.

Our program allows the selling of content that is in the public domain; however, we may ask you to provide proof that the content you submitted is in the public domain. We may refuse public domain content that's already available through our program or other retail sites
