So far, D2D has impressed me the most of all self publishing options I've looked at. I saw your in boxing video already and based on that and this video, I can only say that I hope their print book software improves by the time I'm ready to publish my manuscript. But keep up the good content!

@lucioperelli 2 месяца назад

Hello Mandi, thanks for your video. I started using D2D and it seems a really powerful tool. I only have problems to understand how to see my printable book on sellers platform like as Amazon or Mondadori and so on. I mean: I already converted my ebook in a printable book, also author's copy are available, but how to find my printable book (pod) online?? Thanks for your support!!

@aidanlucid9619 Год назад

Hi Mandi. Thanks for another fantastic video. I actually found it at the perfect time. I do have one question. I'm currently in the process of ordering my proof copy from D2D. When you're doing so, do you just click on "Order Physical Proof Copy" and click submit leaving the distribution button unchecked? I just don't want to press any button that I shouldn't. I have asked D2D Support but they haven't come back to me yet.

@ginad5381 15 дней назад

I appreciate your videos! I only wish wish wish you would have mentioned this was only for text heavy books! Maybe you did but I have a picture book and was following your video, set up an account, tried to figure out how to get canva to download a 300 dpi png that isn't a pdf, found a converter all to find out I don't think you can upload a color picture book onto D2D, can you?

@kumariwickramasinghe7500 5 месяцев назад

I am confused about the royalty. In their website it says 45% the author will get as the royalty. But you only got 3%. Please explain

@Morebusinesswithvideo Месяц назад

Hi Mandi thank you for this video. So helpful. Just a quick question regarding the requirement by D2D for a different ISBN for print books that they distribute, is this different with their eBook distribution? That is, can I just have my one ISBN for my ebook that I put with AMAZON KDP and use the same ebook ISBN for all D2D distributors (minus Amazon with them)? Hope this question makes sense. Cheers, Teresa

Kindle Direct Publishing is my personal favorite

@artemiskatsikis1357 4 месяца назад

nice work. a question. D2D doesnt give me the option of selecting their isbn. What do I do ?

@MrsCambers 9 месяцев назад

So here's a question I have regarding the ISBN. I originally published my book on KDP. I have my own ISBN. On the copyright page I include the ISBN's I got for my paperback and ebook. If Draft2Digital requires a new ISBN would that mean I'd have to remove these from the copyright page?

@digitalwiz 5 месяцев назад

Ok if I have book already published in kdp, in draft2digital it asks date for release, is that the date your actually release it on d2d ? As I released it on kdp a few months back.and do I use same isbn as the one I have for the paperback on kdp which is my own isbn

@eunicesumagaysay5424 2 года назад

You can pick out distribution, but it’s the very last step.
