Other Things You Need to Do (That Pressbooks Won’t Do for You)

Get Your Book into Google and Nook

Pressbooks files are suitable for distribution in all the major ebookstores.

With Barnes and Noble being the world’s largest bookstore, you may want your book available to your audience through its Nook e-reader. And with Google Play serving mobile readers in the Android market, it’s another channel worth utilizing.

This chapter will explain:

  • How to prepare your files for submission to the Nook and Google book stores
  • How to submit your book for publication on the Nook and Google book platforms

1. Ready Your Files for Submission

  • Upgrade your book to remove the Pressbooks promotional watermark.
