Personal publishing websites were not necessarily official publishing units because the definition of a publishing unit depended on the laws and regulations of the country or region. In some countries or regions, only publishing units that had been approved and registered by the relevant departments could legally publish books. However, the individual publishing website might not have such qualifications or registration, so it could not be regarded as a formal publishing unit. However, a personal book publishing website could also legally publish books. They usually cooperated with formal publishing companies or organized their own publishing teams to edit, format, design, and other processes before publishing them into books. Such books could be sold in the market and earn corresponding profits. Therefore, although the personal book publishing network was not a formal publishing unit, they could still legally publish books and sell them in the market. However, when choosing a publishing platform, we need to pay attention to the legitimacy and qualifications of the platform to ensure that our books can be legally published and sold.

Check the copyright page of the book: The copyright page of a regular publishing house would indicate the name of the publishing house, the date, and the information of the book's copyright transfer.
