Can I sell my book elsewhere if I self-publish it on Amazon first?

You are not allowed to sell your book or eBook on any other platform for 90 days following it first being available on the Kindle Publishing website. This is how Amazon keeps its customers coming back; they know that if you like a book, there’s a great chance you’ll buy other books by the same author. However, once the 90 days are up, you can sell your book or eBook on whatever platform you like—such as Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Kobo.

Should I give all my ebook distribution rights to Amazon?

You should never sign over your eBook distribution publishing rights to any one platform, whether that’s Amazon or another company. Then, if they ever change the way books are distributed and you’re not happy with the results, you won’t be left without a way to meet the needs of your readers.

How much does it cost to self-publish on Amazon?

Self-publishing through Amazon is a free way to publish your book! There are no setup fees, so you can start selling today with no overhead.

Does Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing keep any of my profits?

You set the price of your eBook, and they only make money off the books you sell if they’re purchased through their website. So make sure to consider this when establishing your book’s price. This is based on the royalty rate you choose when publishing.
