KDP Amazon successfully published/printing/sold my book for 4 years. I put the book on what I thought was a sales hold pending a business decision I was waiting for, and tried to simply resume printing/selling the book. Turns out I cannot. The book is now being treated as brand new and therefore must go through their "updated formatting standards" so now their telling me my book suddenly has formatting errors this time around ( when the book was perfectly printable several weeks ago.) Now I'm told all errors must be fixed and I have to upload a new file before printing can resume: "the technical team cannot grant exceptions for the Print Previewer" -which is most likely a bot. I've printed this book at several printers and no issues whatsoever. I think they want to sell this book as 'new' so they can raise the price. After several years of selling a book, KDP sometimes lowers the price. Their whole process is absolutely ridiculous!

Ich weiß gar nicht, wo ich anfangen soll! Erstens sind die Buchverkäufe unglaubwürdig niedrig und da bin ich nicht die/der einzige Autor/in, wo das so sieht. Ich ließ mal Probekäufe von Leuten aus verschiedenen Ländern machen und erst, als ich nach über 2 Monaten diese Käufe reklamierte, waren sie plötzlich zu sehen. Ein Schelm, wer Böses dabei denk. (Eine Sentenz von König Edward III) Zudem werden ständig Bücher aus dem Programm genommen und ich weiß nicht warum. Ich erhalte keine Informationsmails mit Hinweisen und weiß also nicht, wo das Problem liegt. Der einzige aber wichtige Joker bei Amazon KDP ist, dass man durch die immens niedrigen Herstellungskosten einen Preis angeben kann, der für interessierte Käufer noch akzeptabel ist. Bei allen anderen, wo ich veröffentlichen wollte, waren die Preise viel höher und somit für die meisten Interessenten unerschwinglich. Doch was bringen faire Preise bei KDP, wenn man nur Ärger und nahezu keine Verkäufe hat? Wenn man reklamiert, wird man immer wieder lange hingehalten, dann woanders hin weitergeleitet und am Ende kam bei mir dennoch nichts heraus! Da vergeht einem die Lust und es kommt der Frust!

Mi hanno bloccato 1 libro di favole illustrato per bambini senza motivo. Giudicandolo deludente, senza dare una chance. Era tutto corretto, anche bonus gratuito da colorare, anche protetto con Copyright. Che sia il pubblico a giudicare, se un libro non piace non venderà, ma non una censura. Impossibile avere risposte "umane". ZERO STELLE. Altri 2 libri già pubblicati bloccati per reazione.

There is a guy there named Franklin Johnson who PROMISED me results and therefore sales but delivered ZIP then ignored me when I asked for my $200 money back! He is a THIEF! Why does he still work there? Obviously that’s what they’re into at Kindle BUT NOT ME!!

Credo deludente l'esperienza su kdp perchè ho tentato di pubblicare un libro per bambini e mi è stato rifiutato più volte anche se rispecchiava i canoni di pubblicazione. Non si può impedire la pubblicazione di un libro perchè mancano i numeri sulle pagine e si tratta di un libro da colorare per bambini da 1-6anni si chiede di togliere il titolo e le linee guida in retro copertina.....

KDP changed eight months ago, and independent authors should run. It's a garbage platform, just like their tablets and other devices. A major class action lawsuit needs to be brought against Amazon as they have mistreated tens of thousands of authors as they control 90% of the digital publishing market in conjunction with indirectly owning the other 10% who are aggregating for them but aren't actually publishing books. This is a monopoly, and it needs to be broken up with immediacy. Please message the Federal Trade Commission as you can file a complaint on their website in conjunction with emailing your representatives in Congress. The future is decentralize publishing. Amazon is a monopoly; don't waste your time! I had published with Amazon for 15 years, and I ended my relationship with them today. They don't have any competition, but as we all apply pressure, change will come as the entire company is operating illegally and in infringement of national antitrust laws.

I have published eBooks with Kindle Direct Publishing since 2009. CreateSpace used to be a separate company and it is now owned by Amazon. Since I haven't ordered a print copy in some time, I'll just comment on the eBook part of their operation, though I do have print books in paperback and hardcover with them. 1. Ease Of Getting My Book Online Their interface is pretty easy. I will agree, getting a book formatted properly so it will pass the book upload part is tricky. But, any platform will also have problems. It's expensive to get someone to format it for you. 2. If you use a word processor that can produce a .docx, and be sure not to use that tab key or symbols, you are one step ahead. Every true word processor like Word, WordPerfect, or free LibreOffice will have style sheets. Learn how to use these to set your margins and fonts, and start every writing work in your custom style sheet, and you won't have as much of a problem with this. There are 3 pages in the Bookshelf interface. Read carefully as you get your book ready. 3. You will have to certify that your book is not produced with AI. I don't even use grammar checkers like ProWritingAid or Grammarly because of this. Learn proper grammar and spelling. I am a science fiction author. Yes, I have to go mark every spelling of my made-up words as correct. It doesn't impair me with getting my .docx approved. 4. Cover I had a little trouble getting my self-designed book covers to pass inspection. Once I learned how to set Dots Per Inch and made my graphics enough pixels by enough pixels, I never had a problem. The software on their website is Art Painter, and you have to give credit to Art Painter in your copyright statement, because it takes your graphic to make the rest of the cover. You can also use a free service such as canva.com to create your cover, just download your finished product as .pdf or .jpg to upload it. There is plenty of help about their guidelines for uploading a book and cover. Follow their instructions and you should be fine. I usually am able to upload my electronic book and cover that I designed, with no problems. 5. Royalties I don't have a lot of sales, but I can't blame that on KDP. KDP doesn't promote your book or get you reviews. It only makes it available for purchase and the lowest price for an eBook is .99, and print has to be a lot higher because paper is expensive. You have to do your own marketing. Getting from finished work, whatever length, to popularity is not easy. People think authors make as much as movie stars. That's not true. A very tiny number of authors make a million from a book sale, usually because a popular movie was made from it. Most writers simply don't make a lot of money, and there are stats on writersdigest.com if you are interested. I have made about $50 in royalties from Jul 2009 to today, Sep 24, 2024. I believe my royalties were fairly calculated and I received them in the timeframe stated. I never had a problem with making a book sale and getting paid through PayPal. There are other methods to get paid. I do recommend a Direct Deposit method rather than a check mailed to you, and PayPal is a Direct Deposit method that I've used since 2009 and before. I think most of the negative reviews here are about services with similar names. Make sure that a service for editing or formatting that has Amazon in its name is amazon.com in the last part of the website address. If not, it's not Amazon. Amazon KDP does offer these services, but all of them tell you up front, paying for them does not guarantee your book will be popular. No advertising is guaranteed just because you have this free account to make your work available. To be totally transparent, I am moving my books to Draft2Digital for eBooks and IngramSpark for print. I will still distribute through Amazon. I just want my work to be more available to libraries and other places so I might get more sales. I still think Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing is a good way to publish, and it is easier than these other 2 to use. The difference is, Amazon is one company. Draft2Digital is an aggregator, so it exists to get books into different companies' and libraries' markets, and it will give my eBooks an eBook ISBN for free. IngramSpark is much bigger, and is also an aggregator. It, like Amazon KDP, gives a free ISBN for my print books that cannot be used with other platforms, so I'm having to get new ones with IngramSpark. IngramSpark has more markets than Amazon. This only matters for we authors 'going wide' or signing up with multiple platforms. If you plan only to sell on one platform, I highly recommend Amazon KDP. Good luck to all you fellow authors!
