Facts, sources and experience
A good book gives readers facts they can check. So does a good publisher. Here is what we know about publishing today, and where each fact comes from.
Publishing today
3.5 million+
self-published print books and ebooks came out in the U.S. in 2025, up from 2.5 million in 2024.1
35% or 70%
are Amazon KDP’s two ebook royalty options. Paperbacks earn 50% or 60% of the list price, minus printing.2
AI disclosed
Amazon asks publishers to disclose AI-generated text, images and translations. We follow that rule and tell you when it applies to your book.3
Sources in your own book
In the NovaTek app, authors on a paid plan can ask the AI to find facts and quotes online. Each one is matched to the web page it came from and shown to you as a source card. You decide what goes in. Accepted sources print as numbered notes at the end of the chapter, in the Chicago style.
In 2025, more than 3.5 million self-published print books and ebooks came out in the United States, up from 2.5 million in 2024.1
