How to pick retailers

By default we ship to all of them. Reasons to deselect:

• You're in KDP Select on Amazon — exclusivity rules mean you can't be anywhere else for that book. Deselect everyone except Amazon, or take the book out of KDP Select to go wide.
• You only want certain regions — e.g., English-only authors sometimes skip the Japan/Korea/China stores where your book won't sell.
• A retailer has rejected a previous book — we'll let you know if so.
