Hi Eddie,\u000a\u000aThank you for your question! We\u0027re glad to hear you\u0027re interested :)\u000a\u000aFor ebooks, we accept both .docx and epub formats for upload, but we only distribute epubs. If you upload a .docx, it will be converted on our platform. Our free converter tool only works on simple, text\u002Dheavy publications that don\u0027t have complex formatting, too many images or tables. If you have a complex book, we recommend uploading an epub file that is already validated.\u000a\u000aYou can reach all of our store partners without paying an additional fee! The 400 stores are under the 45 names you see on our website. When you sign up, you will see the individual stores listed in your account. For example, Kobo has 28 stores, Bookmate has 8, Apple has 51, etc. You can also reach thousands of digital libraries.\u000a\u000aThe only store that has a separate distribution fee is Ingram which is $10/book/year, but this is only available for print\u002Don\u002Ddemand.\u000a\u000aTo answer your last question: no, unfortunately stores do not make it possible to include your own website and add it to the store listings. Some bigger retailers like Amazon, Google Play, etc. make it possible for you to create author profiles and you can add your website there, but other stores do not offer this option.\u000a\u000aI hope I was able to help!
