Imagine a Pakistani Publishing Company called Pak-eBooks selling Urdu eBooks!
I am typing these lines on 7th February, 2022 and am hoping this happens soon and someone invests money into such an effort so that young Pakistanis can read Urdu eBooks on their mobile phones, computer tablets, laptops and desktop computers by paying fro the Urdu eBooks in Pak Rupees.
For Pak-eBooks's to set up offices in Lahore, I will call the Manager hired Mr. Pak-eBooks-Pakistan and for Pak-eBooks's set up in the USA, I will term that person Mr. Pak-eBooks-USA.
1 eCommerce in the USA:
Since USA has half a million Pakistanis living there in a total US population of 330 million people, it would make sense to set up Pak-eBooks-USA.com office in the US. In contrast, Canada has 0.2 million Pakistanis and UK has 0.18 million Pakistanis living there.
Mr. Pak-eBooks-USA would set up Pak-eBooks-USA.com website in some US city, pay sales tax and income tax on Urdu eBook sales and accept payments for Urdu eBooks sold via PayPal service. This service allows secure, risk-free payments by customers who authorize PayPal to access their Visa or MasterCard and make payments for eBooks to Pak-eBooks-USA.com. PayPal is very reliable and has been operating for more than two decades.
Mr. Pak-eBooks-USA can set up a PayPal account in the USA by clicking this web link:

I found many companies offering webhosting service in the USA:

However, I have been using Verizon-Yahoo Small Business Webhosting service for many years and would recommend this service to Mr. Pak-eBooks-USA. Here is the web link:

Some guidelines for setting up your Pak-eBooks-USA small business web site via Verizon-Yahoo are set out in a section of my website Dareechah and the web link for that is:

2 eCommerce in Pakistan:
Pakistan has a population of 213 million (2021) which includes 128 million literate Pakistanis (60 per cent literacy rate; Dawn news report). In my humble opinion, Pak-eBooks-Pakistan would be your stronger set up.
Mr. Pak-eBooks-Pakistan can set up Pak-eBooks-Pakistan.com website in Lahore and link it to JazzCash, EasyPaisa and all major credit cards offered by Pakistani banks. Liberty Books, Readings and Sang e Meel Publications websites are already doing this for sale of regular print Urdu books.
Many Pakistani Publishers have not created any web sites or created any eCommerce solutions for selling Urdu regular print books. Instead, they have set up Facebook accounts where customers look at lists of books available, then make a phone call to the Pakistani publisher and pay for the books via some method. It Pak-eBooks uses this method of selling Urdu eBooks, then you would have to hire persons to attend one to five landlines or mobile phone numbers and email Urdu eBooks to customers once they have paid via some method. Not very efficient and not a long term solution.

Call AlHamd phone number and place order by providing Home Address details and pay via some method not explained on Facebook account page.

3 Typing and Composing Urdu eBooks:
Since InPage Urdu typing and composing software from India does not have the capability to create small sized .pdf files of Urdu eBooks, therefore Mr. Pak-eBooks-Pakistan must use a free of cost wordprocessing software called Apache Open Office which can create Word, Excel and PowerPoint formatted files in the Urdu language by using various freely available Urdu fonts.
Apache Open Office software can be downloaded for free from this web link:
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Mr. Pak-eBooks-Pakistan would have to download Nafees Web Naskh font for free on to his computer from the South Asia Language Resource Center at University of Chicago's web site:
http://salrc.uchicago.edu/resources/fonts/available/urdu/nafeesweb.shtml
Complete instructions for typing and composing Urdu eBooks have been set out in the Urdu eBook section of my web site Dareechah for the past many years and the web link for that section of Dareechah is:

4 Selling Urdu eBooks Online in Pakistan:
Once Pak-eBooks has developed an inventory of 10 or more Urdu eBooks and 10 or more eBooks in regional languages like Punjabi, these eBook files will be in the .pdf format. The term .pdf stands for portable document file and these files can be read via Adobe Acrobat Reader apps installed on phones, laptop computers, tablet computers and desktop computers as well as Kindle eReaders.
The next step would be how to sell these .pdf file eBooks online.
One simple way would be to email them to customers who have paid via EasyPaisa, JazzCash or a Pakistani credit card.
Another way would be to create a Pak-eBooks-App. Pak-eBooks-Pakistan office will need the services of an IT programmer to accomplish this. The Pak-eBooks-App would be installed for free on mobile phones, laptops and desktop computers. Customers would log in to the Pak-eBooks-App on their phones or computers, select the Urdu/Punjabi eBook they need, pay for the eBook via EasyPaisa, JazzCash, Pakistani Credit Card all the while using the Pak-eBooks-App and then Pak-eBooks-App would allow a one-time download of the eBook to the customer's phone or computer. This way of selling eBooks is what Amazon's Kindle bookstore is using and this uses a technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM) to sell eBooks. DRM way of selling eBooks ensures that only the customer gets the eBook and that the customer cannot share that eBook with anyone else's phone or computer.
