Expresta also offers a hybrid model. You can print only 10 books, and they have a warehouse where they store them. The shipping is next-day, which is quite fast. They always keep the 10-book stock. It is a service in the EU. It could be a good place to sell your book if you have customers inside the EU. I took a quick look, and the issue is that their book sizes are not compatible with Amazon KDP. The book needs a new design to match the metric system. It could work for a hardcover version if there is a demand in the EU for your book. Any experience with the print quality, etc.

In case you didn’t get the email from them directly, Ingram Spark is changing their print on demand pricing.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 👏 Has anyone had any experience using Acutrack? I recently saw their ad. Looks like they could be a bulk order solution for POD publishers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH2Sn5WOzkI Oh yes, Julie Broad mentioned them in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVUUZYs74Hc. 👍

Hi Non-Fiction Author fam, has anyone used Lulu Direct API to sell books from their website? I'm looking for reviews before I try. I'm hoping this is a good alternative because I prefer not to add Shopify. My platform (Systeme) uses Stripe and PayPal. Lulu Direct API overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykFYCtFZRQ0

Hi Team, I've agreed to the 55% wholesale discount on my paperback, but only offered 50% on my hardcover. It's 416 pages, and the printing costs make the margins super tight. Should that harm the paperback sales on Amazon, B&N, etc.?
