The process of making a self-published book, originally available on Amazon, accessible for purchase through Barnes & Noble involves several steps related to formatting, distribution, and listing. While a book may originate on one platform, expanding its reach to another requires careful planning and execution to ensure compatibility and visibility.
Expanding a book’s availability beyond a single retailer offers authors increased potential readership and revenue streams. Historically, authors were limited to traditional publishing routes for broad distribution; however, the rise of self-publishing and online marketplaces has democratized access. Widening the distribution network can significantly contribute to an author’s success by tapping into a larger customer base.
