What this is

Free tools for getting a book onto Amazon KDP

Self-publishing on Amazon KDP comes with exact rules: spine widths that change with every page, margins that grow with the page count, keyword boxes, description tags, and royalty rates that jump at a set price. Get one wrong and the book is rejected, prints badly or earns less than it should.

These tools do the maths and the formatting for you, using KDP's published figures, checked against KDP's own help pages. They all run in your browser: nothing you type or upload leaves your computer, and there's nothing to sign up for.
