The tech barrier is the top objection to launching D2C. This guide walks through how a press can go from zero to a live ebook store in 30-60 days — from catalog import to storefront launch to reader app branding.

JSTOR archives scholarship and opens access paths. Neither serves individual readers who want to buy directly. D2C fills this gap — and it is complementary, not competitive, with your existing channels. Here is how the three-channel model works.

URL: https://publica.la/en/blog/subscribers-only-products ### The True Cost of Amazon Dependency for Academic Publishers Date: 2026-04-17 Amazon takes up to 65% of every sale, locks away your reader data, and controls your discoverability with algorithms you cannot influence. For university presses, the cost goes beyond margin erosion — it undermines your ability to build sustainable D2C revenue. This is not about leaving Amazon. It is about diversifying beyond it.
