The central question revolves around the author’s ability to disseminate their literary work across various digital publishing ecosystems, including but not limited to Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and other prominent platforms. This encompasses the process of preparing, formatting, and uploading a manuscript for sale as an ebook and/or print-on-demand book on these channels.
Distribution across multiple platforms offers several advantages. It broadens potential readership, maximizing exposure and sales opportunities. Authors gain access to different demographics and markets, potentially leading to increased revenue. Furthermore, diversification reduces reliance on a single retailer, mitigating risk associated with policy changes or platform-specific issues. This strategy aligns with contemporary publishing models, promoting author independence and control over distribution.
