Podcast: Do you know your ebook distribution options?
In this 10-minute show travel writer Jay Artale looks at the two different ebook distribution options if you don’t just want to go exclusive with Amazon:
- Going direct and non-exclusive with Amazon, and signing up with an aggregator (Draft2Digital, PublishDrive and Smashwords) to reach retailers other than Amazon.
- Going direct and non-exclusive with Amazon, and going direct with Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books, or Google Play, and also using an aggregator to reach other retailers.
- The pros, cons, and challenges of going direct with all of the different retailers.
- How to simplify your distribution network.

Nicely done. I was planning Amazon KDP to self-publish my ebook which is in the process of completion. I had decided to use ebook services and was planning to ask them to help me publish my ebook. I will first try on my own.
Yes Samantha .. go for it!
