to sneeze at, especially if you’re looking to reach as many readers as possible. Also, if you’re looking to sell your eBook internationally, keep in mind that other retailers hold significant market shares overseas. Kobo, for example, is tops in Canada and Japan. You can get by just selling your eBook on Amazon—millions of authors do—but it shouldn’t be your only outlet if you have ambi- tions for your book. TL;DR: Distribute on all eBook platforms. HOW TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR EBOOK To sell your eBook strictly on Amazon, upload it through Kindle Direct Publishing, or KDP. (Amazon provides directions for doing that through its KDP Jumpstart program.) It’s free to set up an eBook title on KDP. You’ll need final book files that meet their quality and content guidelines, but assuming you worked with professional editors and designers who understand book layout and cover design, your final files should be accepted. To sell your eBook everywhere else—Google Play, Apple Books, Nook, Kobo, and more—you have a few options. BookBaby.com is what we use for Scribe authors, and is a one-stop-shop to distribute your book to all the major outlets. There are other options, like Smashwords and Draft2Digital, that you can use to accomplish the same goal. For BookBaby, the cost to set up an eBook depends on how many graphics are in the book. A typical upload costs $249. For each graphic, figure about $2 additional cost. TL;DR: Use KDP and third-party platforms to distribute your book everywhere.
