How to Publish on Kindle
Publish Your Book on Amazon's Kindle and More
Reach millions of readers by publishing in Amazon's Kindle store. Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world and the Kindle is by far the most popular eReader on the market. With eBook sales gaining year over year, publishing on Kindle simply makes sense for authors. The cost is low and the rewards are high. And when you publish with BookBaby, your book will be available for purchase on Amazon.com, the Kindle eBook Reader, the Kindle Fire and dozens of other devices. We'll even convert your book to Kindle eBook format for free.

Why not publish directly with Amazon?
There are two ways to publish on Kindle. You can sign up directly with Amazon, or you can use an eBook distribution service like BookBaby. The advantage of working with BookBaby is that you get distribution to 10 additional eBook retailers: including Apple's iBookstore for iPad, and the Barnes & Noble's eBook store for the Nook. And that's just the beginning. BookBaby offers a wide array of services so that your publishing experience is a breeze. Our publishing experts will help you every step of the way, so that your book gets the attention to detail that it deserves.
Publish your book with BookBaby and we'll ensure that your eBook sits on the same virtual shelf as New York Times' best sellers, Pulitzer Prize winners, and time-honored classics.
What if my book is already published on Amazon?
If you have already self-published on Amazon but would like to take advantage of all the other retailers BookBaby delivers to (Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, and more) simply deselect the Amazon option when you sign up with BookBaby and we will deliver you to all of our retailers excluding Amazon.
How much do I get paid per sale on Amazon?
BookBaby keeps 0% of your sales. Amazon keeps their standard retail percent. So for eBooks priced between $2.99 and $9.99, you will receive:
- 70% for sales in the Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland, United Kingdom (including Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man), and the United States (minus a delivery fee determined by Amazon based on the size of your book)

If you price your book higher or lower than that suggested range, you keep 35% of all sales in all countries.
