Take control of your digital publishing business and reach your audience directly
Selling ebooks through Amazon is convenient—but it comes at a cost. As a publisher or independent author, relying exclusively on third-party platforms limits your revenue, data access, flexibility, and control over the reader experience.
In this post, we explore why more creators are choosing to sell ebooks independently and how platforms like Bookset make that process faster and easier than ever.
The limitations of traditional ebook marketplaces
Publishing on Amazon, Apple Books or similar marketplaces often means:
- Royalties reduced by up to 60%
- No access to reader data or behavior analytics
- Limited pricing and bundling options
- Algorithm-driven visibility with no transparency
- No control over branding or design
These limitations make it harder to build a scalable, reader-first publishing model.
The benefits of selling ebooks directly
Launching your own ebook storefront allows you to:
- Keep 100% of your profits
- Create bundles, offers, or lending models
- Own your reader data and engagement insights
- Control the design and reading experience
- Build long-term customer relationships
You also gain the flexibility to test different formats, pricing strategies, and content types based on real feedback—not opaque platform rules.
