KDP Select and Kindle+: Questions Before Enrolling
Review current enrollment terms, the digital exclusivity commitment, and the page-read royalty model. Then compare the program with your distribution plans.
Separate KDP Select from Kindle+
KDP Select is an optional 90-day enrollment for Kindle eBooks. During an active term, the enrolled digital edition must remain exclusive to Kindle. Kindle+ is a subscription program; consult its current program page for eligibility and how reading activity is handled. Review both sets of terms before choosing distribution.
Use your own reports
- Track pages read and royalties over comparable periods.
- Compare results with your own sales and promotion activity.
- Consider whether exclusivity fits your wider distribution plan.
- Avoid using another author's income as a forecast for your book.
Revisit the decision
Subscription eligibility, payout calculations, and program terms can change. Review the current KDP dashboard and agreement before enrolling or renewing; historical results do not predict future earnings.
