How to Sell Your E-Books Online: Your Own E-Shop vs. a Distributor

Selling e-books has never been easier – but the real question is: do you want to pay high fees to a distributor, or keep the profit in your own pocket? The choice makes a bigger difference than you might think.

Distributor: Quick Access, But at a High Cost

Sure, distribution through big online stores looks tempting. Your book gets visibility on well-known platforms, and more readers can find you. But there’s a catch:
📉 Distributors keep up to 50% of your sales price.
📉 You lose control over marketing and customer data.
📉 Your book is just “one of thousands” in a crowded marketplace.

👉 Example: You sell an e-book for CZK 350. After fees, you get only around CZK 175.

Your Own E-Shop: Maximum Profit, Maximum Control

With your own e-shop, you’re in charge – and you keep the lion’s share of the profit:
✅ You keep 90% of every sale.
✅ You connect directly with your readers.
✅ You control your pricing, discounts, and promotions.

👉 Example: You sell the same e-book for CZK 350. This time, you keep CZK 315. That’s almost double!
