If you're the author of a book, and you want to get the book into SimplyE, you should know that SimplyE is not a bookstore or a library. It's a mobile interface to a large number of libraries. There are no books in "SimplyE" per se; all the books are in one library or another. To get your book into SimplyE, you'll need to get it into one of these libraries. At that point it will be available to patrons of that library.

 
Your best bet is to upload your book to the Internet Archive or to get it onto unglue.it. The Internet Archive will be publishing its books through SimplyE in the near future, so this will make your book available directly through SimplyE. Many libraries in the SimplyE system use unglue.it as a source of free content, so getting your book into unglue.it will make your book available indirectly.

 
The rest of this document assumes that "you", the person who has books they want to get into SimplyE, represent a publisher, distributor, university, public library, or similar institution. In other words, we assume you represent an organization that deals with hundreds or thousands of titles--so many titles that it makes sense to set up your own OPDS server.
