This page describes how Smashwords distributes ebooks to a growing network of online retailers, mobile app platforms and affiliates. Of the 380,000+ original ebooks we publish, over 300,000 are in our Premium Catalog, which is what we distribute to major ebook retailers.Please carefully study this page to learn what you, as the author or publisher, can do to maximize the distribution of your books.Smashwords offers three primary catalogs, our Premium Catalog, our Standard Catalog and our Atom/OPDS Catalog.1. Premium Catalog (Reaches Global Retailers and Libraries): Once your book is accepted into the Premium Catalog, we automatically distribute it to major online retailers. Notable retailers in the Smashwords distribution network include Apple (operates iBooks stores in 51 countries), Barnes & Noble (US and UK), Scribd, Oyster, Kobo, Yuzu, Blio and Inktera (formerly Page Foundry). Our industry-leading library distribution reaches OverDrive (world's largest library ebook platform serving 20,000+ libraries), Baker & Taylor Axis 360, Gardners (Askews & Holts and Browns Books for Students), and Odilo (2,100 public libraries in North America, South America and Europe). Partners that power multiple stores: Some of our partners mentioned above power, supply or operate additional digital storefronts. For the sake of clarification, the distribution partners above are "Primary" partners, and if they operate, supply or power other stores, the stores are "Secondary" stores. These secondary stores further extend the reach of the Smashwords distribution network. Please note that the stores operated by our partners change frequently. If you're opted in to one of the primary stores above, your books may automatically flow to any secondary stores they launch, supply or power. This is a good thing assuming you have world rights to your books, as most self-published authors and publishers do (if you do not have world rights, or if you need to block distribution to certain territories, please contact the Smashwords Support team for instructions on how to block by territory). Although we will endeavor to update the listings below from time to time, please note that the list may be incomplete. Here's a summary of secondary stores.
