ISBN + publishing

  • 📚 ISBN: to be assigned by KDP on publish
  • 🌍 Distribution: Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, all Amazon EU/US stores
  • ⏱️ Print-on-demand: KDP handles inventory, no upfront cost
  • 📱 Kindle version: $9.99, reflowable text, simultaneous publishing

Why print-on-demand instead of a print run

KDP print-on-demand means zero inventory risk. The book prints when someone orders it. Royalty is 60% (vs. 8–15% for traditional publishing). The trade-off is slightly higher per-unit cost, which is fine for a niche lore book — the audience doesn’t need a $9.99 price point, they want the book.
