Understanding Amazon KDP: A Plain-Language Guide

How Kindle Direct Publishing works, from uploading files to setting your price.

Kindle Direct Publishing lets authors publish eBooks and paperbacks that sell on Amazon. You keep control of your rights and pricing.

You’ll need a formatted interior file, a cover sized to your trim and page count, and your book’s metadata — title, description, categories and keywords.

Royalty options and pricing affect each other, so review Amazon’s current terms before you choose.
