FAQsFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions authors ask us most. Still unsure? Talk to a real person.
Kobo has strong international reach, particularly in Canada, the UK, and parts of Europe. If your genre or topic has international appeal, Kobo can be a meaningful sales channel.
Currency and regional pricing can be set for different markets. We provide guidance on reasonable international pricing based on your genre and comparable titles.
Kobo uses EPUB format similar to Apple Books, but has its own specific compliance requirements we account for during formatting.
Amazon's KDP Select program requires exclusivity for ebooks, which would prevent Kobo distribution for that title. We can advise on whether exclusivity or wide distribution better fits your goals.
