Summary
Draft2Digital converts a Word document into an ebook EPUB or print-ready paperback PDF with layout templates, and you can download those files free even if you do not publish through it. Publishing requires a $20 one-time activation fee; it then takes about 10% of the retail price as commission and distributes to many retailers and libraries. D2D Print paperbacks also reach Amazon.
