Help needed. Looking for a European eBook Distributor.
Hello, everyone. I need your help.

I'm looking for an eBook distributor that is based in Europe that is willing to work with Indie authors. In other words, I'm looking for a European version of Smashwords. May someone refer me to them?

Thanks.

European Distribution
The only distributor that I have that does worldwide, including Europe, is Overdrive. I think you need to be a publisher to sign up with them.

Did you make sure to select worldwide rights on both Amazon and PubIt? That way in theory you can reach worldwide audiences.

I believe that Europeans can buy from Smashwords. I've often read about Europeans having to pay delivery charges on Amazon. For example, a $2.99 eBook would cost $4.99. I thought that if I could find a European eBook distributor that could distribute to online stores such as WH Smith and others, then any eBooks that I sell would be more attractive since I've been struggling with selling more eBooks outside of Canada and the United States.

Yes, I have worldwide rigths on both of those sites. I checked out Overdrive, however they require that you have a minimum of ten books before they work with you. I find that rediculous.

Don't know anything about them but there is a thread in this forum with the title Anyone publish with Xinxii. Maybe someone in there knows something.

np. I checked out the thread, and a couple of people have used them and seem well pleased. I'll be taking a look at them myself in a few days.

I've published with XinXii.com. Very easy, but no sales. They're trying to become the Amazon of Europe.
