Epoch Publishers prepares, uploads and manages your book on Google Play Books and Google Books, so readers can find and buy it on Android, iPhone and the web.
Google Play Books is one of the biggest places to sell an ebook, and it is built into millions of Android phones. It is also one of the more fiddly stores to set up. Accounts, file rules, country pricing and book details all have to be right before Google approves a title.
That is where Epoch Publishers comes in. Our team handles Google self publishing from start to finish. You send us your manuscript or finished file. We prepare it, upload it, and send you the live link once it is on sale.
Already published on another store? We can add Google Play Books to your existing title and match your details so your book looks the same everywhere.
Let's get startedYou have a finished manuscript and want it on sale without learning a new platform.
Your book is on Amazon or Apple Books and you want Google Play readers too.
Your upload was rejected, your files did not pass, or you could not get Partner Center access. We can sort it out.
You have several titles and need one team to keep them consistent across stores.
Formatting, cover check, book details and upload for your ebook on Google Play Books.
Audiobook setup and distribution for authors who have recorded audio or want it produced.
You stay in control while our team handles the technical steps, from files to pricing.
Google Play Books plus Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble and Amazon, set up together.
Most authors do best by listing on more than one store. Here is how the main ones fit together.
| Store | Where readers use it | How Epoch helps |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Books | Android phones and tablets, iPhone app, web browser | Account setup, file checks, pricing, upload |
| Apple Books | iPhone, iPad, Mac | Same files and details, adapted for Apple |
| Amazon Kindle | Kindle devices and the Kindle app | Kindle publishing through Amazon KDP |
| Kobo | Kobo readers and the Kobo app | Setup and distribution |
| Barnes & Noble | Nook devices and the online store | Setup and distribution |
One set of files, one set of book details, every store. We keep your title, description and price consistent so readers see the same book wherever they shop.
You create a Google Play Books Partner Center account, add your book details, upload your ebook file and cover, set prices for each country, and submit it for review. Epoch Publishers does each of these steps for you, checks your files first, and sends you the live link once Google approves the title.
Yes. Google Play Books and Apple Books are separate stores, and a book can be listed on both, along with Kobo, Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Epoch Publishers prepares one set of files and book details, then adapts them for each store so your title stays consistent everywhere.
Cost depends on what you need, such as formatting, cover design or editing, and whether you want distribution to other stores. Epoch Publishers gives you a written quote before any work starts. Google sets its own sales terms for books, and they can change, so we show you the current terms before you decide.
You need a finished manuscript or ebook file, a cover, a title and description, and your pricing choices. If you only have a manuscript, we format it and design the cover. We check everything against Google’s current requirements before upload so the review goes smoothly.
You can publish on Google Books yourself if you have Partner Center access and are comfortable with file formatting and book details. Many authors hire Epoch Publishers to save time, avoid rejected uploads, and handle Google alongside other stores. With our self publishing and hybrid models, you keep your rights.
Once your book is approved, it appears in the Google Play Books store, where readers buy it on Android, iPhone and the web. You set the price, and Google handles the sale. Epoch Publishers sets the pricing for each country and can run marketing to send readers to your listing.
Preparing your files usually takes a few days to a few weeks, depending on how much editing and design your book needs. Google’s review time is outside our control and varies. We submit as soon as your files are ready and update you at each step.
The main stores are Google Play Books, Apple Books, Amazon Kindle, Kobo and Barnes & Noble. Each reaches different readers and countries, and most authors list several. Epoch Publishers sets up distribution across all of them so one book reaches readers wherever they shop.
Google has opened and closed Partner Center access for new publishers in some countries over time. If you cannot get direct access, tell us where you live. We will explain your options, including distribution routes that deliver your book to Google Play through another channel.
We follow a clear process so your book reaches Google Play Books without surprises. At every stage you know what is done and what comes next.
