- Sign in to the account you uploaded the book with
- Go to Publish Books – My Publications
- If you uploaded an epub before, you would need to create another epub for the updated version of your book before you even start this process. See how to create an epub here.
- If you used the platform’s epub creation, then you’re good to go.
When the page opens, it shows you a list of your books, both published and those still in draft mode. See screenshot below.
Click on the Pencil Icon in front of the book you would like to Edit… The edit page will open…
If you initially uploaded an Epub, Click On the X icon to delete the old ebook. You might get a warning, ignore it and don’t close the page. See screenshot below.
Click on the UPLOAD EPUB option to upload your new epub copy.
After it’s been uploaded… Click On REPUBLISH. See screenshot below.
That’s all. If you encounter any errors, leave a comment below. You can also delete or unpublish your books with this option.

Thank you Karo. This is really helpful. I’d like to ask if changing the price of a book and republishing will affect anything on it, such as its number of downloads and reviews.
Hello Uwa,
No, these changes will not affect anything.
Thank you Karo. I’m an author with a book on Okadabooks. When I published it, I didn’t know how to convert a Ms word file to epub. So, I used copy and paste version and created an epub version in Okadabooks. But it wasn’t properly formatted. Now, I have learnt how to convert files to epub. I have a better, properly formatted epub file of the same book. How do I replace the copy and past version (the once I create in the site) with the new epub file?
Thank you.
Hello Stanley,
1. Visit publish.okadabooks.com
2. Search for the book in your publications.
3. Click on the edit icon to go to the publication page
4. Cancel the copy and paste, and choose UPLOAD EPUB.
3. Upload your new epub file and click on REPUBLISH
Thank you Karo. I did exactly as you said. I clicked on the edit icon and then went to the publication page. I cancelled the copy and paste version, and uploaded the new epub file. I republished it but it still showed the copy and paste version.

Can i make a suggestion? Can you bolden or highlight the part that says ‘Click on the Pencil Icon in front of the book you would like to Edit… The edit page will open…’ because there are Olodos like me who are in too much of a hurry and don’t settle to read what they ought to and end up deleting their book completely out of existence 🙁
