What do you like best about PublishDrive?

I have been working with many companies in the publishing industry, and they have all disappointed me, except for publishdrive. Draft2Digital stole my money and sold hundreds of my books illegally, Smashwords sold itself to Draft2Digital without any previous warning, Google Play made my titles impossible to be found, decreasing my sales from many thousands of dollars per month to nearly zero, Amazon has blocked my account many times without any justification, destroying my book rankings based only on jealous users who contact them with false accusations, the whole publishing world is a complete circus of incompetence, jealousy and theft. Publishdrive is the only company I have seen over these years withholding its position and steadily improving the situation of its authors. I wish my sales were higher with them but other than that, they seem trustworthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PublishDrive?

My sales have always been too low despite the fact that I gave them hundreds of books for distribution, at least low when compared to my previous results with Smashwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PublishDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

It increased the speed of book distribution. It would take too long if I had to do it myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PublishDrive?

Найкориснішим я вважаю можливість опублікувати свої книги. Ціную увагу та постійне піклування команди PublishDrive про авторів-клієнтів платформи та постійні спонукання до виправлення проблем з книгами Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PublishDrive?

Як на мене, трохи незрозуміло виглядають зауваження стосовно проблем з книгами. Як на мене, я ніяк не можу зрозуміти, що не так з моїми аудіокнигами. Було б краще, якщо мені показали, що не так з моїми аудіокнигами на прикладі. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PublishDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Допомагає вирішити тільки проблеми з публікацією книг. З продажами поки що не виходить. Але я вважаю, що маю сам займатись просуванням своїх книжок, використовуючи можливості PublishDrive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PublishDrive?

The best part about PublishDrive is that it gives you access to multiple markets that you wouldn't otherwise be able to reach, and you can distribute to multiple markets on one platform. They have access to markets in China and elsewhere that you cannot get deals with as a small independent publisher. I like how when you need to update your ebook you don't have to update it on every store, you just update it once and the file will be updated on every market. The UI is straightforward and easy to understand. I received a lifetime deal through AppSumo when they were just starting, so I scored a good deal that is paying for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PublishDrive?

I dislike that there is no Dark theme for the interface. They aren't obligated to add one, but I do most of my work at night, and I would prefer to have a dark theme that is easy on the eyes. This is a rather minor complaint in the grand scheme of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PublishDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

PublishDrive solves the problem of accessing multiple foreign markets via a single platform. It allows you to get distribution into markets you otherwise couldn't as an independent publisher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
