If you want to reach more readers and make more money you should publish your books on both IngramSpark and KDP (formerly Createspace). Read on for reasons why.

Print on Demand

Books are printed when they are order

No need to have extensive inventory on hand

No need to fulfill the orders as they come in

Steps

1.Reader orders the book

IngramSpark and KDP fill the order

IngramSpark and KDP take their cut (production and distribution) and pay you the rest

Pretty much it works the same for both POD platforms

Benefits of each:

KDP

Free

Only makes money when someone buys your book

Automatically included in the Amazon Store

IngramSpark

Upload cost of $49 annual fee which is minimal

Master distribution network that includes brick and mortar stores and libraries

See them as competition

Terms are not good for them

Paperwork is insane

Print choices

Hardback option

New Personalization Service

Can distribute on Amazon

Amazon uses IS to fulfill some of their orders

Requires own ISBN # use on both IS and KDP

*Amazon will provide out of stock notice on IS only print books.

Best of both worlds!
