This outfit has gone down to the lowest quality possible. The last two books they published for me were an embarrassment. They are made poorly and the font is so bad you can hardly see it. I ordered a copy retail and it came in an envelope and was bent. In the beginning, Amazon sent books in boxes. They took pride and care. Now they are one of the worst company in retail. Of course, there is no support. This is just one issue I have with KDP. So, my plan going forward is to buy my ISBNs and have them published by a superior publisher. I've been a published writer since 1967 and I have never had my writing shown such little respect. Not to mention my readers who will no doubt complain and I can't blame them. My advice to anyone starting out in this field is to go to Sparks or some other publisher. Don't let Amazon touch your book. Don't give them control over anything you work months or even years on. At this point, I'd say they're a scam. A multitude of writer have the same experience and are going elsewhere. As I look at my book, I could cry. It looks like a cheap piece of trash. The cover is lovely. But it is bent and on cheap paper. Everything about it is cheap except the work I put into it. I advise you with all sincerely to avoid letting KDP near your books. The day will come when all authors will leave them.

My proof copy came back incorrect. I changed the release date to a future month so I could figure out the issue. Once I made corrections, I tried to upload the new version to get another proof copy sent. I was told that my release date would stay the same even though I had changed it. Speaking with a live agent I was told it didn't matter if the release date was changed, it'll still publish at my original date and I cannot make any adjustments until it goes public. WHY??????????? Why even have the option to change the date. MAKES NO SENSE. Now I have to put a hold on my social media content calendar, wait for it to be published, take it down, and fillout the extensive information to get it back up to be published again, upload the book, then get another proof copy.... etc etc It puts me out another month. Even the live agent said its the way it is. TELL YOUR product designers not to allow changes to publishing date if its a farce. It's completely misrepresenting the options available. No live agent could override this. PS the interface sucks and is not user friendly. I am NOT a happ author or customer.

Amazon is a very Useless Platform, bots deciding the fate of people's years and months of heard work....U could just wake up one morning, and your account has been terminated, and why U try to find out why? They give U a general answer, without telling U the specific reason Ur account was terminated, it's so sad how bots are messing up the System, and withholding your earnings why Ur account have been terminated is Barbaric I have lost thousands of dollars on this useless Platform....Shame on them they are Thieves, taking away Ur hard earned money, just because of an error from a bot...

Scammers and thieves abound here. I paid kdp plus an additional firm to publish my book. It was supposed to be listed under certain categories and optimized under them as well. It was never optimized under any of the categories. It was never even listed under any of them either. I searched Amazon under every category it was supposed to be listed under and it is not there. As a new author this screws me because no one knows me or the title of my book. Stay away from these thieves and liars or you will be screwed over too.

Wow! I sold my books on KDP since, 2009. I didn't check my sales, because, I never got a payment notification? So, from 2009 to 2020... not one notification of payments. I checked my royalties and Kend... over 2000, downloads and 100 plus payments... which I didn't get? My Never Be Poor Again book-- downloaded 997 books... Not one payment received. Out of 16 years I got 6 very small payments in 26 June 26? I'm working with KDP staff... and I have to have my bank do an audit... my bank can't find the payments? How odd... then I read other reviews and I'm not the only one. So, KDP keeps my book(s) revenue??? How odd is that? I teach people how to live for free globally... globalfreeliving. com. I'll keep you up to date for more information... See if I get my pay from KDP... Lovingly, Love-

If I could give less than a star, I would. After arguing with the useless AI Agent, I finally got a contact form. I wrote and sent a book to these guys TWO WEEK AGO, and I encountered the extremely faulty Persona ID verification app, and after several failed attempts and not getting anywhere, I tried to reach out to these people. It's now two weeks and 4 attempts to get through, and I have yet to receive a response. Nothing has moved forward. I had no problem publishing with KOBO. Simple. Easty. No issues. Not only is KDP frustrating, but their promise to get back to people within 24 hours is pure B/S. I can understand maybe an extra day or two, but TWO WEEKS? Really? Terrible!

My experience with Amazon KDP has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. Amazon KDP rejected my Kindle book without providing any clear or specific reason. What makes this even more confusing is that the paperback version of the same book is already live on Amazon, while the Kindle version was blocked with the vague explanation that it “might result in a disappointing customer experience.” No specific formatting issue was mentioned. No content issue was explained. No technical problem was identified. I was left with a generic message that gives authors no real way to understand what went wrong or how to fix it. I contacted KDP and appealed the decision, but the responses felt generic and robotic, with no meaningful clarification. For independent authors who invest real time, effort, and care into their books, this kind of treatment is extremely discouraging. Amazon KDP needs to be far more transparent and respectful toward authors. Rejecting a book with vague copy-paste explanations, while offering no clear path to resolve the issue, is simply unacceptable. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Amazon KDP to independent authors. The process feels opaque, unpredictable, and unfair.

Ein Stern ist noch zu viel. Konten werden geschlossen trotz nachweiß der Identität. Kein menschlicher Ansprechpartner. Alles KI basiert. Besser man bleibt mit den Fingern davon
