Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A collection of browser-based tools for preparing paperback files, ISBN barcodes, shipping labels, and print images.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-14 issue.

For: Self-publishing authors and print sellers
Worth noticing: The royalty estimator specifies Amazon.com, USD, 6×9 black-ink paperbacks, and direct sales rather than presenting a universal estimate.

Field notes

The tool descriptions make their operating boundaries unusually legible. The royalty estimator is limited to a stated Amazon.com paperback configuration, while the shipping-label cropper is for existing static PDFs and asks users to check each selected page. An ISBN file pack with CMYK TIFF output is marked in preparation rather than available; the page says the SVG download remains free.
