IngramSpark is among the self-publishing websites perfect for those interested in distributing print books. Ebook is available, too. But Ingram super specializes in print-on-demand, reaching over 39,000 channels.
With Pages, you can create a book, then publish it directly to the store in Apple Books. You can customize your book during the publishing process: add a cover, set your price or offer it for free, add tags to specify age groups or subjects, set up a pre-order, customize availability by date and country or region, and more. You can also update an already submitted book.
In the other publishing windows, most information will be pre-filled, though you can change most of the metadata or other options. For example, you can specify a new page range for your sample, add a new category for your book, and more.

Your fans, friends, family and network can spread the word using these widgets as well!
Thank you for your answer Clayton.. it led to the info I needed. However, now I am ready to complete the submission form, setting my e-book to be free on Amazon (NOT KDP Select), and I am not sure why the only royalty option in $0.35 and not $0.00. ..I selected a list price of $0.00 as directed in instructions. Also, do I need to contact KDP to price match if I have not self-published with other retailers.
When you publish your eBook at these sites, you should set your eBook to free. After you publish it free there, you can publish your eBook at Amazon and price it at $0.99. Do not enroll in KDP Select when given the option on your KDP dashboard for the particularly eBook you are trying to make permafree.
What was your primary objective when you wrote your first book? Many self-publishers, when they write a book, simply want to get their message out. Others want to honor someone they love or respect. Many want to leave a legacy.

Book reviews are important for all books, but they're especially so for self-published books, because most of their sales are online. And when it comes to selling books online, Amazon customer reviews can make or break shopper interest in a book.
They'll convert your manuscript into EPUB format. And as long as your book is priced at 1.99 or more (or equivalent), you'll receive 70% of your book's listed price. Any books cheaper than that will earn you 45%. Plus, you're still free to publish your books elsewhere if you like.
However, you DO want to email all of your friends and family as well as current business contacts to let them know you have published a book. Keep it personal, and invite them to join your author newsletter to stay updated.
Newsletters are great ways to connect with people to tell them when you have a new book to publish. Collect email addresses on your website and send a weekly newsletter. Sometimes it can be helpful to have an incentive to get others to join your list, such as a free printable or free chapter of your book.
This is a great idea if you have a local winery near you. If no local wineries are available, find a location that allows others to BYOB and enjoy a night of conversation about books and authors. Be sure to invite any of your favorite local authors to broaden the reach.
The issue of whether or not to offer your books for free as part of your marketing strategy is a hotly debated issue in the indie author community. Novelist Lesley Tither explains why she will never take that route. Do you agree? Follow her argument, then join the conversation via the comments box!
I totally agree. My argument against offering my books for free is similar to yours: Do you show up at a bar and expect free drinks? Do you go to the dentist and ask for free x-rays? Why in the world would we respect the prices in every other industry, willingly paying for goods and services, and not do the same for the creative arts?
