App reviews, troubleshooting, and recommendations
I want to use Amazon to fulfill my paperback book orders. My books are already on KDP. Which app does this? Many come up as 3rd party consolidators. Anyone? I know Lulu is recommended but their printing costs are much higher and I already have the books on KDP.
Advice welcome.
Hi, @ezaroff
If you have already published your paperback books through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), you can use Amazon's Print-on-Demand (POD) service to fulfill your orders. This service allows you to print your books as customers order them, eliminating the need for you to maintain inventory or manage fulfillment yourself.
To use Amazon's POD service, you can simply select "Amazon.com" as one of your distribution channels when setting up your paperback book on KDP. This will make your book available for purchase on Amazon's website, and any orders that are placed will be fulfilled by Amazon.
Alternatively, you can use a third-party service such as IngramSpark or CreateSpace to distribute your book through Amazon and other retailers. These services may offer different pricing and features than Amazon's POD service, so be sure to do your research and choose the option that best fits your needs.
It's worth noting that while Lulu's printing costs may be higher, they may offer other benefits such as wider distribution options or more customizable printing options. Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the costs and benefits of different distribution options and choose the one that works best for your specific situation.
Thank you. That’s tremendously helpful.
Not to be a moron, but when I go to my channels, there is no amazon and when I search I get thrown back to the app page. What am I missing?
Did you ever figure this out?
I came here to ask the same question - did you ever figure this out? I'm currently trying to do the exact same thing.
