For authors going wide

A wide-publishing path that starts with the Select conflict, not another store login.

Going wide is one EPUB plus honest exclusivity. These tools show blocked stores, then the file checks you already have for EPUB and metadata.

Checked:

Select conflict firstOne EPUB, many storesNo fake per-country uploaders

Who this path is for

You want Apple, Kobo, or Google Play as well as Amazon. You are not trying to enroll in Kindle Unlimited at the same time.

What you still do on each store

Prices, descriptions, and ads stay per store. ShipMyBook does not log into Apple for you.

Where to publish this book

Pick language and format. See which stores actually fit.

KDP is not a world passport. Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese bounce. Select locks other ebook stores. This map uses one rules table, not forty cloned pages.Open check

KDP Select exclusivity checker

See what KDP Select actually locks before you enroll.

Select buys Kindle Unlimited page reads and locks the ebook for 90 days. Print can still go to Ingram. Another ebook store, your own PDF shop, or a free full serial usually cannot.Open check

Google Play Books country checker

Check whether your country can sell on Google Play Books.

Play Books reaches Android markets KDP barely touches — and still refuses some seller countries. China is closed. The United States can sell. Unknown codes need the official table.Open check

KDP tools for authors

A KDP tool path for authors who already finished the manuscript.

Start with the current block: page planning, formatting, cover geometry, validation, metadata, or a failed upload. Each free result points to the next dependency.Open check

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should I use Draft2Digital or go direct?

D2D is enough for the first wide book. Direct Kobo or Apple only pays after you have sales worth the extra dashboard.

Can I stay in Select for 90 days then go wide?

Yes, after Select ends and you confirm the ebook is off other stores during the term.

Do I need a new ISBN?

KDP's free ISBN is Amazon-only. Ingram and most wide print channels need your own ISBN.
