News Summary: Ingram Launches Covered, Amazon Changes Bestseller Updates
Ingram has now launched its long-touted Covered platform. Covered is an alternative to platforms like NetGalley that offer advance copies of books. It will have a digital focus, initially offering ebooks in EPUB and PDF formats, with audiobooks expected to follow in the near future. The platform will be open to Ingram’s network of 50,000 or so booksellers and librarians, who will be able to order copies of books they like based on the advance reading the platform enables them to do.
The post News Summary: Ingram Launches Covered, Amazon Changes Bestseller Updates appeared first on The Self-Publishing Advice Center.

#IngramSpark says professional paid book reviews are useful for selling to libraries etc. They're not wrong, but we don't think they're worth the cost for most indie authors.

Außerdem kann ich bei #Tredition nicht mehr anhakeln, dass ein Buch _nicht_ in den internationalen Verkauf soll, weil ich das zB selber bei Ingram hochladen will. Wann ist die Checkbox dafür denn weggekommen? Führt jetzt zu lustigen Kollisionen und Fehlermeldungen bei #IngramSpark, dass die ISBN bereits für #BoD-Thirdparty vergeben ist. 🤦♀️ Womit wohl klar ist, wer der Großhändler zwischen Tredition und dem internationalen Vertrieb ist.

Launching on #kickstarter next week! I'm into the final preparation for the launch, making sure the formats look good on #IngramSpark and working with a local artists who make beautiful bookmarks which will be included as a reward for the signed copies.
