Common questions
answered honestly.
How do I reach Apple Books readers?
Apple Books is accessed by iOS and Mac users worldwide — a premium, high-purchasing-power audience. We submit your formatted EPUB directly to Apple Books Connect and optimize your metadata for Apple's discovery algorithms. Approval typically takes 1–3 business days.
What regions does Apple Books distribute to?
Apple Books operates in 51 countries, making it one of the broadest eBook distribution networks available. This is particularly valuable for English-language titles with international audience potential — English readers in the UK, Australia, Canada, and Southeast Asia often prefer Apple Books over Amazon.
What's the royalty rate on Apple Books and Kobo?
Apple Books pays a 70% royalty on all purchases, with no price restrictions. Kobo pays 70% on books priced above $1.99. Both platforms pay monthly and allow you to set your own price — including free promotional periods — without requiring exclusivity arrangements.
Is Kobo worth including in my distribution plan?
Yes, especially if any part of your target audience is international. Kobo is the dominant eReader in Canada and has strong presence in Europe, Australia, and Japan. At no additional production cost once your EPUB is ready, Kobo distribution is an easy incremental revenue channel.
