Chapter III
Barnes & Noble Publishing
Barnes & Noble publishing through B&N Press, reaching Nook readers and in-store print-on-demand shelf space that Amazon-exclusive authors never touch.
What This Service Covers
Barnes & Noble publishing runs on its own platform, B&N Press, with its own file specs, its own Nook store metadata fields, and its own print-on-demand printer network — none of it shared with Amazon's systems. Authors who publish only through KDP are invisible to readers who shop Nook devices or walk into a Barnes & Noble store looking for a specific title.
We format and list your book separately on B&N Press, matching title, description and author details across retailers while adapting the files themselves to Barnes & Noble's technical requirements and Nook formatting rules.
