Draft2Digital Guide
Complete specifications for preparing ebooks and paperbacks for distribution through D2D's aggregation platform. Verified against 2025 D2D guidelines.
What is Draft2Digital?
Draft2Digital (D2D) is an ebook and paperback aggregator, not a retailer. Upload once, and your book gets converted and distributed to 10+ retailers and 20,000+ libraries including Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Tolino, and library systems like OverDrive, Hoopla, and Bibliotheca.
No up-front fees; D2D keeps 10% of list price (never of royalty). One upload handles conversion and distribution across all platforms with consolidated payments.

Platform Benefits
Important: Amazon Distribution
Amazon distribution is available only through the Books2Read side-URL. D2D does not do direct EPUB pushes to Amazon KDP. You'll need to use the Universal Book Link (UBL) system for Amazon distribution.
This means you can still reach Amazon customers, but through a different pathway than other retailers.
Minutes vs. Days
1/10th the Cost
Traditional services take 4–7 days and cost $100+. We deliver in minutes for as low as $0.00 — no hidden fees, no waiting, no compromise in quality.
