Barnes and Noble Press
Barnes & Noble Press (formerly NOOK Press) is B&N's self-publishing platform, which allows to sell books to Nook e-readers and app users, as well as print versions in B&N bookstores in the United States. The latter option is more attractive, as the Nook e-reader platform is no longer very popular. B&N Press is available to authors in only a dozen countries and is slow to review books. Authors receive 70% royalties on e-book sales, regardless of the book's price, and 55% of the retail price of a printed book after printing costs. There is a minimum retail price, depending on the length of the printed book, the color options chosen and the cover type. Barnes & Noble (for a fee) promotes books through its extensive mailing list and runs special sales and promotions.
