Book Publishing and ISBN Registration Services
AppWT publishes its own catalog, so this is capability already in production rather than a new line of business. We register an ISBN that belongs to the CLIENT, not to a platform, and that single decision is what makes a book portable. A free Amazon KDP ISBN is registered to Amazon and locked to KDP. A free IngramSpark ISBN publishes under the imprint Indy Pub rather than the author. A client who takes either one does not own their own book identifier and cannot move it later without republishing under a new number. ISBNs are purchased singly or in bulk as each client needs them and supply is not a constraint. Paperback, hardcover, ebook and audiobook are four separate products and each takes its own ISBN, so a client arriving with one number usually needs four. We take a manuscript to retail-ready and then distribute it: print on demand through Amazon KDP Print and Lulu; wide print and bookstore distribution through IngramSpark into the Ingram catalog that Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, independent bookshops and academic and public libraries source from; ebook direct to Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes and Noble Press and Google Play; ebook wide through Draft2Digital, PublishDrive and StreetLib for the European markets; library and subscription reach through OverDrive, Hoopla, cloudLibrary, BorrowBox, Palace Marketplace and Everand; audiobook through Voices by INaudio, ACX, Spotify for Authors and Google Play auto-narrated; and direct-to-reader storefronts on Shopify, WooCommerce, Payhip, Gumroad and BookFunnel where the margin is highest. The client keeps every master file: print-ready PDF, EPUB and audio. A vendor that keeps those files owns the book.
