Your book on every
iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Apple Books comes built into Apple devices used by millions of readers. We format your eBook to Apple's standards and set up your listing, preorders and pricing in your own account.
A bookstore already installed on millions of devices.
Apple Books ships on every iPhone, iPad and Mac. Its readers buy in a store that is less crowded than Amazon, and Apple pays a straightforward 70% royalty on eBook sales.
Apple is also strict about file quality. EPUB files that look fine elsewhere can be rejected or display poorly. We build clean, validated files and fill in metadata that suits Apple's store.
Preorders are easy to set up on Apple Books, which makes it a strong part of any launch plan.

Apple Books and illustrated books
Apple Books handles fixed-layout eBooks particularly well, which makes it a great home for picture books, cookbooks and design-heavy nonfiction. If your book relies on exact page layout, we can produce a fixed-layout edition alongside your print book. See formatting and typesetting for details.
Remember exclusivity
If your eBook is enrolled in Amazon's KDP Select, it cannot be sold on Apple Books at the same time. We help you choose between exclusivity and publishing wide. Learn more on our Amazon KDP page.
