Draft2Digital announced a major partnership with Bookshop.org that brings indie ebooks to a bookstore-first audience of around four million readers. In this interview, we break down how the partnership works, how local bookstores benefit through profit sharing, what authors earn through standard retail splits, how discoverability is influenced by recent sales, and why metadata and DRM-free choices matter. We also set realistic expectations and explain why this move focuses on long-term market health rather than short-term hype. Feb. 4, 2026.
