What does eBook distribution mean?

The distribution process of an eBook is simple. An eBook is a digital file that is uploaded to an online retailer (Amazon.com, for example) and made available for download.

There are no shipping costs associated with eBook distribution. A consumer will simply purchase the eBook via the website that it is sold on and the file will be downloaded directly to their eReading device.

It's easy to upload an eBook to an online retailer. Some retailers require that a publishing company submit the eBook, and in this case, it would be ideal to work with an eBook publishing and distribution company.
