If you’re an author with a book published in the United States, you might be wondering why your print book isn’t showing up on Amazon’s foreign websites. After all, shouldn’t your book be available to everyone, no matter where they are in the world?
The answer is a bit complicated. It has to do with the fact that Amazon is a global company, but it doesn’t actually own and operate all of its websites in every country. In some countries, Amazon has partnered with local companies to create and maintain the Amazon website.
These local partners are responsible for stocking the website with local products, including books. So, if your book is published in the United States, it’s likely that it’s not available on Amazon’s foreign websites because it’s not stocked by the local partner.
Of course, this isn’t the only reason why your book might not be available on Amazon’s foreign websites. It’s also possible that your book is available on the local partner’s website, but it’s not being advertised on Amazon’s global website.
If you want your book to be available on Amazon’s foreign websites, you’ll need to contact the local partners and see if they’re interested in stocking your book.
