Why publishers switch
Pay for what you use
If puzzle books are your niche, you don't need a full research suite. Business is $5.99/month, or 20% off for 6 months.
Whole books, not single puzzles
Choose a game, a size and a count. You get a framed, paginated interior with a solutions section ready to upload to KDP.
Arabic and French markets
Create right-to-left Arabic word searches and French books — markets with far less competition on Amazon.
