The question of the day is how to get Amazon.com to distribute your book. Frankly, I was glad that it was asked because it made me do a little research.
If you self-publish through iUniverse.com, they will automatically place it on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble for you, as well as a half a dozen other sites. They also have connections with the regular Barnes and Noble stores.
If you go through a traditional publisher, they will do the same, as well as pass it on to distributors.
There are many online publishers and print on demand publishers that make you register on your own or charge you a ridiculous fee to do it for you. In these cases, this is what you need to do to get listed:
1) Get an ISBN number from Bowker, if your print on demand publisher fails to provide you with one. The ISBN number is the way that online and offline publishers track down your book and order it.
2) Once your book has an ISBN number and is actually available for order you should click here to be listed on Amazon.com
3)To get listed on BarnesandNoble.com click here
4)Also, if you have an ebook that you want to sell online you can sell it for 80% commissions on http://www.digibuy.com
