We can distribute free ebooks to most stores, but unfortunately not all. Some of the stores in our network do not offer free ebooks or they give very low prices to free ebooks. Promoting free ebooks is highly encouraged, either as a time-limited marketing campaign or as an introductory offering for a series. The landscape for free audiobooks is more complex, as the majority of our store partners don't accommodate them due to their unique business models, such as libraries and subscription services. For print-on-demand books, it is not possible to offer them for free due to the inherent costs of printing.   ### **How can I set my book's price to free?** There are two ways to do this, one is temporary and the other is permanent (until you change it again). 1. You can employ our price promotion tool to temporarily alter your book's price. Find more information about this option [here](https://help.publishdrive.com/how-to-run-a-price-promotion-for-your-book-on-publishdrive?hsLang=en). You'll be prompted to specify a date range, and after the designated period, the price will revert to its original setting. 2. To permanently set your book's price to free, you can edit your book accordingly. Learn more about how you can make modifications even after publication [here](https://help.publishdrive.com/how-can-i-make-changes-to-my-book?hsLang=en). With this method, the price will remain fixed until you decide to modify it once again.   ### **Free book pricing option at Amazon**   Amazon presents a distinct scenario. Currently, Amazon doesn't accept free submissions from our end. In these cases, free ebooks are automatically sent to Amazon with a minimum price tag of $0.99. However, if your book is available for free on major platforms like Apple Books, Kobo, or Barnes & Noble, Amazon *might* consider matching that price. Please note that Amazon requires **detailed proof** when reviewing price match requests. This includes **store-specific and country-specific** links, particularly for **Apple Books and Kobo**, not just general or US-only links. If you'd like to request a price match, [please reach out to us](https://publishdrive.com/contact-us.html?hsLang=en) and provide: - The book’s *ASIN* and *ISBN* - *Title* - Direct store *links* showing the book is free on: - Apple Books (for each relevant country) - Kobo (for each relevant country) - Google Play, *if applicable* (for each relevant country) We’ve prepared a downloadable Excel sheet to help you collect and organize these links. 👉 [Amazon Price Match Request Template](https://help.publishdrive.com/hubfs/Amazon-Price_Match_Request.xlsx?hsLang=en) 👈 Once completed, feel free to send it back to us, and we’ll forward the request to Amazon on your behalf.   Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation!     - [Book Upload And Correction](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Uploading A Book](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#uploading-a-book) - [Book Correction And Common Errors](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#book-correction-and-common-errors) - [Ebook Conversion](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#ebook-conversion) - [Content Guidelines](https://help.publishdrive.com/book-upload-and-correction?hsLang=en#content-guidelines) - [Stores And Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Store Selection](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#store-selection) - [Publishing Status](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#publishing-status) - [Partner Stores And Special Terms](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#partner-stores-and-special-terms) - [Terms Of Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#terms-of-distribution) - [Payout Terms](https://help.publishdrive.com/stores-and-distribution?hsLang=en#payout-terms) - [Account, Subscription and Pricing](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Subscription Options](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#subscription-options) - [Account Management](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#account-management) - [About PublishDrive](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#about-publishdrive) - [PublishDrive Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/account-subscription-and-pricing?hsLang=en#publishdrive-distribution) - [Royalty Payments And Sales Analytics](https://help.publishdrive.com/royalty-payments-and-sales-analytics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sales Analytics](https://help.publishdrive.com/royalty-payments-and-sales-analytics?hsLang=en#sales-analytics) - [Royalty Payments](https://help.publishdrive.com/royalty-payments-and-sales-analytics?hsLang=en#royalty-payments) - [Marketing And Promotion](https://help.publishdrive.com/marketing-and-promotion?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Promotion Tools On PublishDrive](https://help.publishdrive.com/marketing-and-promotion?hsLang=en#promotion-tools-on-publishdrive) - [Marketing Tips](https://help.publishdrive.com/marketing-and-promotion?hsLang=en#marketing-tips) - [Print-On-Demand And Audio Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/print-on-demand-and-audio-distribution?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Audiobook Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/print-on-demand-and-audio-distribution?hsLang=en#audiobook-distribution) - [Print-On-Demand Distribution](https://help.publishdrive.com/print-on-demand-and-audio-distribution?hsLang=en#print-on-demand-distribution) - [PublishDrive Abacus](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-abacus?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Team Royalties](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-abacus?hsLang=en#team-royalties) - [PublishDrive Abacus](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-abacus?hsLang=en#publishdrive-abacus) - [Publishing Assistant](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishing-assistant?hsLang=en) - [PublishDrive Essentials](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-essentials?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First Steps With PublishDrive](https://help.publishdrive.com/publishdrive-essentials?hsLang=en#first-steps-with-publishdrive) - [Exclusive Copyright Documents / Trademarks](https://help.publishdrive.com/exclusive-copyright-documents-trademarks?hsLang=en) - [General Information](https://help.publishdrive.com/general-information?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.publishdrive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/publishdrive_logos_rgb-02.png?width=55&height=55&name=publishdrive_logos_rgb-02.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://publishdrive.com?hsLang=en) PublishDrive Help Center Copyright © 2026, PublishDrive Inc.
