Hi Rich, my country is not stated on the list of countries. I'm from Ghana. Are there other options?
Thank you so much! 2 questions. I did upload my fist eBook to Google play but nowhere I can price it? And how do you do the page count? Different text size means more or less pages
You forgot to mention that when uploading manuscript & cover one must upload all in one complete file (PDF). If done in 2 separate files one has to be named INTERIOR & one COVER. I did not know that so file that was a cover page was deemed the book and NOT published due to it being one page. Better to upload one file; the manuscript with the cover
Hello, I just discovered your channel and your information is excellent. Can you please tell me if it is possible to submit an enhanced eBook with audio and animations to Google Play Books? Thank you!

I've just tried to publish my first book on Amazon and faced some technical issues from their side. Then I went to Google Play Books and found out my country was not in the list so I couldn't publish. Something tries to prevent me from publishing :) Will try other websites you mentioned.

What do I do when the content is completely different from the title and it's for sale? I deactivate, but there is no chat etc. to ask google to correct their error.
Does it automatically correct the size in which the transcripts displays on the page? Unlike Amazon, whereby i am wasting hours to position my transcript :(

I'm current facing the same issue, I wrote the book, but they need to make sure of such a thing
Hello Richard I have an issue that I bumped heads with for the last 4 months. I am desperate as I don't know how to deal with it. So, I followed your steps, and my account got disabled (?) The reason was that while self-publishing I was asked to prove that my work is mine. ( I wrote a fiction story that happens in the Victorian era) And I don't understand what that means. And what do those people want from me to allow my book to be sold? They ask for a document that proves the work is mine and a site where is sold at. Well, there's no site as I want to self-publish and it's my first book. And I don't understand what document they want me to provide as proof of ownership
