Why Kobo Publishing Makes Sense for Wide Authors

Kobo is especially strong in Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, Japan and Australia. Plus, it partners with bookstores and retailers around the world. So publishing on Kobo can open doors in markets where Amazon is less dominant.

Kobo also tends to reward series and loyal readers. Its promotions and Kobo Plus can help you build an audience that grows with each new book.

Still, Kobo works best as part of a wide plan. Combine it with Apple Books publishing and Google Play Books publishing, or let us handle everything with our self-publishing services.

What our authors say

  • I tried uploading my print files to IngramSpark four different times and kept getting frustrating error messages about bleed, trim size, and cover wrap. It was a technical nightmare. Ordwick took my manuscript, adjusted the interior layout and cover to meet Ingram's exact specifications, and my book was approved on the first try. I wish I had hired them from the beginning.

    Mark E.

    Indie Author

  • My main goal was making my book available for local independent bookstores and libraries to order, which meant I had to use IngramSpark. Ordwick didn't just set up my account; they walked me through the wholesale discount and return settings so I actually understood my profit margins. Seeing my book officially cataloged for physical retailers is a dream come true.

    Sarah J.

    Non-Fiction Author

  • If you want physical bookstores to take you seriously, your book has to look traditionally published inside and out. Ordwick’s formatting team made sure my typography, margins, and cover proportions met strict trade standards. The print-on-demand copies I ordered through IngramSpark look absolutely flawless because Ordwick set the files up perfectly.

    Anita P.

    Memoirist

  • Ordwick didn't just publish my book; they treated it like a piece of architecture. Every font choice, every margin, every marketing move was intentional and precise.
