The central question concerns whether a particular print-on-demand and distribution platform facilitates the availability of published works on the largest online retailer. This relationship is crucial for authors and publishers seeking broad market reach.
The capacity to list books on a dominant marketplace offers significant advantages. It provides access to a vast customer base, potentially leading to increased sales and visibility. Historically, direct publisher agreements were the only avenue, but now aggregator services like IngramSpark provide an alternative route. The ability to access such platforms, streamlines the process of making a book available to millions of potential readers.
