Chapters/Indigo is Canada's biggest bookseller, however if you look on their website and do a search form small US publishers that do eBook/POD, you won't find a lot there. Is anyone experiencing difficulty arranging to have print books made available in Canada when it’s a small press publisher in the States and Ingram/Lightning Source? Basically a Canadian writer published by a small press or eBook/POD in the US has to convince Chapters head office to approve the book before they can set up any signings. Often a book can’t even be ordered by ISBN number up here unless it’s listed on Chapters/Indigo online. Finally a writer has to wait until their author copy arrives to show to head office before approval can be given.
McNally Robinson is, in my view, a far better bookstore but that's a topic for another day. Anyway, have other Canadian authors experienced this much difficulty getting their foot in the door to Chapters/Indigo?
