Amazon-Only Means Leaving Half Your Readers and Half Your Royalties on the Table.

Apple Books alone has 800 million credit cards attached to iTunes. Kobo dominates Canada and Europe. Libraries buy through Ingram. Readers who don’t use Amazon still buy books, just not yours, if you’re only on KDP.

Amazon-only publishing

  • KDP Select exclusivity locks you out of every other platform
  • Zero presence in libraries, readers who find you through Overdrive can’t borrow your book
  • No bookstore orders, Ingram won’t stock a KDP-only title
  • Non-US readers pay inflated import prices or can’t order at all
  • Single platform risk, policy changes or account issues kill all revenue overnight
  • Missed school and academic markets that buy in bulk through Ingram

With Kindle Publishing Experts

  • IngramSpark setup, 40,000+ retailers, libraries & schools in one account
  • Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, all activated simultaneously

What Every Wide Distribution Project Includes

Wide distribution only works when the technical setup is properly in place. These are the commitments we follow on every project.

File Compliance Support

Files are prepared to meet the technical requirements of each selected platform. If a file is rejected for a formatting issue, we revise and resubmit it at no extra charge.

No Exclusivity Required

Wide distribution does not mean leaving Amazon. We structure your setup so your Amazon listing and Ingram distribution can run together properly.

100% Royalty Rights

You keep the royalties from every platform. Kindle Publishing Experts is paid for setup and publishing support, not through ongoing royalty shares.

4 to 6 Week Timeline

Your book is prepared for wide distribution within 4 to 6 weeks after final files, approvals, and required account access are complete.

30-Day Post-Launch Support

Post-launch support includes listing checks, metadata corrections, retailer issue support, and basic platform questions for 30 days after launch.

NDA & Confidentiality

Mutual NDA available on request. Your manuscript, sales data, files, and publishing strategy remain confidential throughout the project.

Trusted by Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Executives

From first-time authors to seasoned CEOs, our clients turn their books into tools for authority, client growth, and lasting impact.

I've been running my consulting firm for 14 years and always knew a book would elevate my positioning. Kindle Publishing Experts made it real. The ghostwriter they matched me with understood my industry from day one. The final manuscript reads exactly like me, sharp, direct, and full of the frameworks I use with clients. Closed two six-figure engagements before the official launch.

I came in with a half-finished manuscript and no clear direction. The developmental editing process was transformative and they helped me restructure the entire argument without losing my voice. The book is now the anchor of my thought leadership strategy and has been picked up by three business podcasts. Worth every dollar.

Kindle Publishing Experts handled my business memoir from outline to Amazon launch. The project manager kept everything on schedule and the ghostwriter captured 20 years of entrepreneurial lessons in a way that is genuinely engaging. It's already ranking in two categories on KDP and my speaking inquiries have tripled since launch.

As a business coach, credibility is everything. Publishing my book with Kindle Publishing Experts gave me a tangible asset I can put in front of every prospective client. The team handled the cover, interior layout, ISBN, and KDP submission flawlessly. I didn't have to touch a single technical detail. Professional from start to finish.

My executive team had been suggesting I write a strategy book for years. Kindle Publishing Experts turned that idea into a polished, published reality in under five months. The ghostwriter conducted thorough interviews, the editor tightened every chapter, and the cover design looked better than books I've seen from major publishers.

I used Kindle Publishing Experts's book marketing and Amazon Ads service post-launch. The team built a proper campaign strategy, ran the ads, and optimised the metadata. Within six weeks we hit bestseller status in two categories. The visibility it created for my startup brand was unlike anything I'd achieved through traditional PR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions authors ask most about this service.

Wide distribution means publishing your book to all major retail platforms, not just Amazon. This includes Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google Play Books, and library networks like OverDrive and Baker & Taylor. Wide distribution protects your revenue from any single platform's algorithm or policy changes and makes your title available wherever readers shop.

We distribute via IngramSpark (which reaches 40,000+ retailers and libraries worldwide), plus direct uploads to Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble Press, Kobo Writing Life, and Google Play Books. Scribd and Draft2Digital are included in expanded packages.

KDP Select gives you access to Kindle Unlimited page-read income but requires 90-day Amazon exclusivity. Wide distribution trades that exclusivity for reach across all platforms. Which is better depends on your genre, KDP Select tends to outperform in genre fiction; wide distribution is usually stronger for non-fiction, business, and professional titles.

No. IngramSpark is a distribution aggregator, not a publisher. You retain full copyright and can withdraw your title from distribution at any time with reasonable notice.

Yes. IngramSpark distribution includes Ingram's library channel, which supplies OverDrive, OverDrive Libby, Baker & Taylor, and other library wholesalers. Library availability can meaningfully increase your readership and long-term royalties.

IngramSpark approval typically takes 5–10 business days after file submission. Platform-specific uploads (Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo) take 24–72 hours each. We stagger the release dates to ensure simultaneous go-live across all channels.

A 3-minute strategy call is the fastest way to find the right path. No obligation. NDA on request.
