You want to talk about update fees? Let's talk about BookBaby. I published a memoir with them in 2025, my first book. I needed to make maybe 10 editorial fixes to the book after it was published, both to the paperback and EPUB. I made all changes to the paperback PDF and EPUB files myself and uploaded to BB's server. I was STILL charged a whopping $199 for change fees, because "we still have to check them and distribute the files." Never again with BB.
Thanks for keeping us informed!
I appreciate the support and kind words.
You’re welcome

Yeah, BookBaby has a completely different model that can get costly after awhile.
So interesting! 🤔 lots to ponder.
Indeed!
Super informative stuff, thanks!
Hey, thanks!
I like where they are going.
Especially when it comes to when I put all my eBooks behind a substack paywall (that’s happening soon).
I can then use IngramSpark as my printer, I was very impressed with how they created Webtastic Stories: Fear and Loathing on the Internet.
Solid printing, especially in different colours.
Agreed! They’ve got great print quality. Although, I gotta admit that I’m a bit more partial to Bookvault print quality in the UK. Real good!
Great info, as usual Dale. Thank you.
Thanks so much for reading!
