BOOKORBITS
Distribution

Book distribution across 40+ countries and every format.

Most books are available in one or two places. Most readers shop in many. If your book is only on Amazon, you are missing every Kobo reader in Canada, every Apple Books customer in Australia, every library borrower in the UK, and thousands of independent bookstores that never saw your title come across their ordering system.

We set up your book across every major channel in print, ebook, and audiobook formats. One setup. Global reach. No chasing retailers yourself.

Why This Matters

Amazon is the biggest channel. It is not the only one.

Amazon accounts for roughly seventy percent of ebook sales in the US. That leaves thirty percent on other platforms. In the UK, Kobo has a significant market share. In Australia and Canada, Kobo and Apple Books are how many readers buy. The library market in the US and UK is substantial and often ignored by independent authors.

Wide distribution does not compete with Amazon. It adds to it. The readers who buy through Kobo are not the same readers who would have bought through Amazon. They are additional sales from readers who were already looking for a book like yours in a place you were not showing up.

Libraries are a particularly overlooked channel. A library purchase generates ongoing royalties on every borrow and puts your book in front of readers who discover it through browsing, not searching. Library readers buy books. They also recommend them.

Selling wide vs Amazon exclusive

Kindle Unlimited requires Amazon exclusivity. Selling wide reaches Kobo, Apple, and library readers. We help you decide which is right for your book and genre.

No upfront print cost

Print-on-demand means your book is available in print with no minimum order, no warehouse, and no unsold stock. Printed when ordered, shipped direct.

Libraries pay and keep paying

Library distribution through OverDrive and Hoopla generates royalties per borrow. A popular library title can generate steady income with no marketing effort.

What Is Included

Every channel, every format, every country.

Retailer setup across all major platforms

We handle every account setup, metadata entry, ISBN assignment, and file formatting required by each retailer. You do not need to manage multiple dashboards or learn different upload requirements.

International distribution across 40+ countries

Your book available to readers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, and thirty or more additional countries through our retail and wholesale network. Pricing set per territory.

Library and institutional channel access

Library distribution through OverDrive, Hoopla, and Bibliotheca. Libraries pay full price per copy or borrow and generate royalties on every checkout. An often-ignored revenue stream with no additional marketing spend required.

Wholesale and brick-and-mortar channel setup

Independent bookstore ordering enabled through Ingram wholesale. Your book becomes available to physical store buyers who use Ingram for their ordering, without any additional negotiation on your part.

eBook, print-on-demand, and audiobook distribution

All three formats distributed through the appropriate channels for each. Print-on-demand means no upfront print run, no warehouse, and no unsold stock. Audiobook distribution via Findaway Voices or ACX.

Monthly sales reports across all channels

Consolidated monthly reporting on sales, borrows, and royalties across every channel. One report instead of logging into ten different dashboards. We flag anomalies and opportunities in every report.

“I had no idea my book could be in libraries across Europe. BOOKORBITS set up global distribution in two weeks and I now have readers in countries I have never visited. My book is now in Barnes and Noble stores and being borrowed from libraries in the UK. I would never have figured out how to do that myself.”
