Omnibus and large print planner
Thinking of a box-set paperback, or large-print editions? Enter each book's word count and see every edition side by side: about how many pages, the spine width, whether KDP and IngramSpark print a book that long, what it costs to print and the list price that earns you the royalty you want. When an omnibus is too long for one book, it shows how to split it.
| Edition | Pages | KDP spine | KDP printing | KDP list price | IngramSpark printing | IngramSpark list price |
|---|
Pages are estimates (usually within 6% of the typeset book; the small range under each is the likely spread) for a novel-style book, with each chapter starting on a right-hand page. Large print is set at 16 pt. An omnibus adds a two-page part title for each book. The list price is the lowest that earns your royalty on a sale in the market you chose; "details" opens it in the print royalty calculator with every platform and line.
Why it matters
A box set is three books' worth of printing in one, so its price has to be much higher than a single book's to earn anything, and KDP stops at a few hundred pages more than most single novels. Large print needs far more pages for the same words. This shows you which editions work before you format anything.

For one book's exact figures, the word count to page count tool changes font, spacing and margins, and the spine width calculator makes the cover template once you know your final page count.
