Each retailer operates on a different schedule and will vary by a few days either way. You can use this as a general reference guide for that average time it takes for your eBook being available for sale. We deliver eBooks to our retailers immediately if provided ePub files, or following file conversions provided by BookBaby. Please note: once we’ve delivered your eBook files, it’s out of our hands.
