Introduction
Publishing a book is a major milestone—but without effective ebook distribution, even the best-written titles can remain undiscovered. In today’s highly competitive digital publishing world, simply publishing your book on one platform isn’t enough. To maximize your reach and revenue, you must distribute across multiple ebook platforms that cater to diverse audiences globally.

Platforms like OverDrive and Bibliotheca (via eBooks2go) enable your book to reach educational institutions and public libraries.
