Updated October 7, 2026. Verify changing platform requirements with the primary sources below.
What to know before you decide
- Keep the KDP account in the author’s control whenever practical so royalties, tax details, reports and pricing remain transparent.
- Require final print and eBook files that meet the relevant KDP specifications.
- Confirm whether metadata, categories, keywords, pricing and proof review are included.
- Do not treat access to KDP as a proprietary publishing benefit; the value should come from the professional work around the publication process.
Primary sources
For rules, fees and platform requirements that can change, verify the current source before acting.
