Is Shopify still the way to go, to sell direct to readers? Which printer do you use?

If you price your book on Amazon WAY higher than your retail price on Ingram Spark, will Amazon discount your book a lot?

It seems that for nearly $1.6 million you to can do this.

I do not sell my book direct from my website. Currently I provide links to Amazon and Spotify. Should I also provide links to Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Books A Million, and Bookshop, or no?

Hi everyone, I’m A.X. Hale. I’ve just released my debut nonfiction title, Fueling the Night Shift more than a month ago. It’s written for night shift nurses, covering practical nutrition and energy strategies to survive long overnight shifts. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC52ZHYT I’m working on securing 8–15 genuine, unfiltered early reader reviews to support the launch. I’m happy to share free digital copies with anyone willing to read and leave their honest feedback — positive or constructive, I value real thoughts above all. I have a question for this group: Is review swapping a common or safe practice for nonfiction authors? I’ve heard mixed opinions and want to avoid anything that risks my book or account. What methods have you found most reliable for earning authentic early reviews for your nonfiction work? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks a lot for your insights. — A.X. Hale
