Why Books.by?
Create your own store.
Sell directly to readers.
Keep your royalties.
You've written the book. Why give away half your royalties-and every reader relationship-to a retailer? Books.by lets you create your own print-on-demand bookstore, and sell your books directly to your readers.
core features
Upload your existing books, set your retail price, and start selling in seconds.
Your Books.by store can run in parallel to your listings on Amazon or Ingram. You can even upload your existing assets. Our platform handles everything else-from printing and fulfilment, to daily compensation.
Personalise your Storefront
Customize your theme with your colors, bio, and customer messaging-so every sale feels personal.
Upload your Existing Assets
Books.by is fully compatible with your existing internal and cover assets from Amazon, Ingram, D2D and more.
Connect your marketing accounts
Connect Meta and Google to send cleaner signals, measure campaigns, and improve attribution from every sale.
Global Print-on-Demand
With printers in the USA, Europe, UK, Australia and beyond. Every order is fulfilled from the facility closest to your reader.
Instant Sales Notifications
Track sales in real time and see exactly who your readers are-insights retailers never share.
Daily Royalty Payouts
Receive your funds daily-not quarterly-to a bank account of your choice.
Print + eBook Publishing
Offer paperback and instant digital download from the same listing-readers pick the format, you keep 100% of the royalties on both.
Custom Discount Codes
Create percentage or fixed-dollar codes for launches, newsletters, book clubs, and limited-time promotions-scoped to one book or your entire store.
A different approach to publishing.
Books.by isn't a marketplace, or a distributor. It's a purpose-built storefront, like Shopify, that lets you sell directly to readers, own the customer relationship, manage your own business, and operate with complete transparency.
