Kobo has announced that Kobo Writing Life will be launching a consolidated sales reporting template in February 2017. This new sales reporting template will allow enhanced visibility into your sales by combining both your sales reports and credit memo into one consolidated report. The company will also be providing indie authors with more tax information.
There are a number of self-publishing services out there that help indie authors submit their titles onto a number of digital distribution systems. It looks like all of these companies will have to take into account the new Kobo reporting system and make sure it plays nice with their own sales tools.
