Outside of Amazon, what are the best sites for sales?

And also, how are your paperback sales going?

(Edit: I deleted my link since it was pretty much advertising.)

Basically, you have alternatives such as Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble Press, Google Play Books, IngramSpark, and BookBaby.

Note that I have not self-published yet, so haven't tried any of them, but I am also looking for alternatives to Amazon.

Hope this was helpful, let me know.

It was helpful, thanks. I went wide but I get more sales from Amazon's subscription service (reads.)

kobo hands down

also B&N, Apple books, tolino, Scribd

but amazon are about 85% of the ebook market so even wide they still account for the bulk of the sales

Could you cross-publish between these various sites? I know I could read through the terms of services, but just in general is it allowed? Not allowed or just depends?

Yes, if you're wide as a self publisher you can publish pretty much anywhere, its only Kindle Unlimited aka KDP select which require excusivity.

Amazan as a whole also don't like it if you're cheaper elsewhere that you are with them, and some others may have similar terms but theres no other absolute exclusions i can think of
