Week of August 22, 2011
  • Alva Press, Inc.'s subsidiary eAlvaInk  should go live tomorrow with the publication of Jolt: a rural noir in ePub (Nook compatible) and Mobi (Kindle compatible) forms. And while Alva still has not received the eAlvaInk TM final registration, things look good that it will be registered. As such what you are privy to by following this undated blog with the latest entries toward the top is the birth of a new ePublishing Company. It has been a long time in coming but it looks like we are just about there. Check back later this week so you can order and download your own eBook copy of Jolt: a rural noir. And please, don't feel shy about sending us a congratulatory email when you do!

  • eBook-It or eAlvaInk's booties don't quite match yet: Roy thought it was the Federal Trademark Registry Search that found that the service name eBook-It sounded too much like some other services so Alva re-named the eBook service name eAlvaInk. But Roy was wrong. Turns out it was some other trademark search company that was soliciting Alva Press, Inc.'s business. Yes, and when Roy called the USPTO directly and it clarified that another private service must have contacted her and the only way she would find out whether or not the USPTO granted her the eBook-It trademark would be to wait to hear from it. Will let you know when we know which booties our eBook service will be using: eBook-It or eAlvaInk?
A Few Months Ago
  • eAlvaInk is in the research and development stage. Chief Editor and Organizer (CEO), Roberta M Roy, has been consulting with IT people as well as a professional small business counselor and continues to comb through the information the research team has found of interest. And earlier this week Roy applied to the USPTO or United States Patent and Trademark Office for a Service Mark for eAlvaInk. Yes, the deed is done. For now Alva's eBook service will be called eAlvaInk. Will it fly? Only time will tell. Roy is to check back in three months--in September. By then perhaps the mark will be approved--or disapproved. If disapproved it will be back to scratch at which point, what is there to lose: Roy will try eBook-It.
  • As for Alva's efforts to upgrade its telephone service to better support the Jolt: a living noir publicity campaign, after three failed efforts, success! Alva's new phone and fax number is (845) 454-5200. As of yet, most calls have been pizza. However today came a call from what Roy thought was an arm of the Better Business Bureau that said it was offering loans at a significantly higher rates than banks. Roy asked the woman why she would want Alva to do that. "Because," explained the woman, "many small businesses want to borrow money but have poor credit ratings." Roy thanked the woman and told her that if she needed money she would go to a bank.
Meantime--just in case this baby learns to walk--Alva is collecting resumes from people knowledgeable in
IT and apps, eBook formatting, editing, national publicity campaigns, and design.
