Find the options and quality you need without any distractions.
Kindle Direct Publishing is Amazon's self-publishing platform. They make it very easy to publish basic ebooks and print books for sale on Amazon.
KDP is focused on one goal: making your book available for sale on Amazon. If you want to sell your book directly to readers or use other retailers, you'll need a different self-publishing service.
Lulu's self-publishing platform includes distribution to Amazon as well as through Ingram's Catalog. Along with retail publishing, Lulu offers ecommerce options like our Lulu Direct app for Shopify and WooCommerce to enable you to sell your books on your own website and social media profiles.
Get the options, distribution, and control to make your book, your way.
Blurb offers many of the same print-on-demand options as Lulu. That includes purchasing printed books at cost, selling through a dedicated bookstore, and services to distribute to all major retailers. Blurb offers fewer size, binding, and print options than Lulu.
If you need improved sales options like ecommerce, Lulu far exceeds Blurb. Lulu offers an App for Shopify (Lulu Direct) and makes their entire network available through an Open API. Lulu also provides a quick path to upload and print books without publishing.
