Summary

PublishDrive distributes ebooks, print-on-demand books and audiobooks to stores and library networks from one dashboard, and charges a flat subscription instead of a cut of sales (0% revenue share on its plans). The free plan covers one ebook to Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and Kobo only. Distributing an ebook through it conflicts with KDP Select, which requires the enrolled ebook to be exclusive to Amazon; print and audio editions are not covered. It can also deliver to Amazon, so a publisher already on KDP should leave that channel off to avoid duplicate listings.

Publishers with steady sales across several stores who prefer a flat fee to a commission

No percentage taken from royalties on any plan
