Hi. We have a question.
If we register our books directly with KOBO, we will make 70% (as long as we meet the minimum pricing requirements and other stipulations)? In other words, registering with Ingram only adds a middleman between us and KOBO?
Thanks. If you want to call, please 919-621-5277.

If we have already registered with Ingram, will registering directly with KOBO over-ride it?
Thanks.

Hi Glenn,
You'll need to talk to Ingram about their payment terms. If you'd like to publish directly with Kobo Writing Life, you can easily create an account. If you have any trouble with this, please email us at writinglife@kobo.com.
Thanks,
Tara
For your 70% royalty, does it apply to ALL countries in the world or only to the countries you've indicated above?
Hi Wendy.
Thanks for your question. This applies to all countries, as long as the prices set are above the thresholds indicated.
