2018. Google reopened Play Books Publisher Program



The Google Publisher Program, which allowed independent authors to sell eBooks in the Google Play bookstore, was suspended in 2015 due to piracy issues. Until now, the only way authors and publishers could get their digital content onto the platform was through aggregators. Today, Google has reopened their Play Books publisher program and incorporated AI into the eBook submission process. Whenever a title is submitted, it will compare the text to other books in the Play Bookstore and if it is found to be similar, it will be automatically rejected. Digital books also have the option to enter an ISBN number, which will retrieve some eBook metadata and enable sales tracking via Nielsen. If you do not have an ISBN, Google will automatically assign you a GGKEY, which you can use on Google Books and Google Play.
