Amazon Vs Other Book Sales Platforms-why You Should Self-publish On Amazon by microsofttutor(m): 11:53pm On Aug 25, 2017
Most times, it seems very difficult to discover the best online book publishing company or platform. After writing my very first manuscript, I found it very difficult to discover the best publishing platform to use. I tried a lot of book publishing platforms. In the course of my experiment, I discovered that some platforms favour a particular category of books. I have decided to write a review of some of the book publishing platforms I tried out and why I have chosen to stick with Amazon KDP and CreateSpace. The truth is that every book publishing platform has its pros and cons, likewise Amazon and CreateSpace. But their pros are more than their cons. I will still show you some pros and cons of different online book publishing platforms.

Review of amazon kdp and other publishing platforms

Are you a passionate book writer with no money to sponsor your book publishing?

Reasons Why You Should Consider Publishing on Amazon and CreateSpace?

There are tons of reasons why you should consider publishing on amazon and CreateSpace! Many professional Authors have discovered these reasons and that is why they have stuck to amazon and Createspace. What have you previously read about Amazon and CreateSpace? It’s much more than just an online shopping cart or web store.
Amazon is the Largest Paid Search Engine and Book Market World Wide

Many people argue this assertion. Some say the largest paid search engine is google. Yes google is the most popular search engine, but people don’t search things on google with their credit cards like they do on Amazon. When it comes to book market, amazon still dominates! Many other online book distribution companies come to amazon and CreateSpace when their customers search for books that are unavailable on their platform.

Amazon and CreateSpace have the highest number of Distribution Channels.

CreateSpace alone which is a subsidiary of Amazon has three extended distribution channels apart from Amazon.com, Amazon Europe and CreatSpace eStore.

These extended distribution channels are:
Bookstores and Online Retailers,
Academic Institutions and
CreateSpace Direct
So in total CreateSpace has six distribution channels!
These distribution channels spread world wide.

You do not need Buy an ISBN code; It is Free!

Amazon and CreateSpace provide an optionally free unique ISBN code for all paper back and print books published on their platforms both for kindle ebook, paperback and print book versions, thereby relieving you of the burden and expenses of buying ISBN codes for all your books, unlike most platforms. Most publishing platforms require that you buy an ISBN code for each of your books. Imagine when you have up to or more than fifty books and you are to buy separate ISBN bar codes for all of them! But

Amazon issues eBooks an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) unique to your book and is the identification number for your book only on Amazon.com. Createspace, gives you a choice to use your own ISBN number or they provide a 13-digit createspace-assigned ISBN for your book for free. You still have complete control over your content with the ISBN being used as an identifier only. If you plan to sell your book retail, you are also permitted to use your own ISBN code. You can get one at Bowker.com if you are located in the US or contact your local ISBN agency.
