I've published my books on Amazon, and I'm now in the process of uploading them to Ingram-Spark so that they can be purchased by bookstores and libraries--which don't buy from Amazon.
I just now saw your question. Ingram Spark has taken me about ten times as long to upload books as does Amazon. (And much of the data requested I just copied from my Amazon entries.) The process seems very clunky. I keep getting indecipherable error messages that are not explained in their Help section. I send a request to Support. They respond after several days, and I don't understand their answer.
I'm uploading nine of my books. Finally, seven are complete, but it has taken me almost a month!
So far I’m just uploading. The process is similar to KDP. I use Publisher Rocket to select key words, and use the same ones as on Amazon.
I’m doing this because the California Writers Club has a new arrangement with an online bookseller that works through Ingram-Spark.
Currently I’m publishing workbooks that aren’t useful as ebooks, so I’m focusing on paperback versions. That’s what bookstores and libraries want.

But I see no option.
