KDP Fee Changes as of June 20, 2023
So Amazon is making a pretty significant change to KDP – the cost to print your books is going up effective 6/20/23. Not by a lot, but it’ll be up to you to decide if you need to change your prices.
But in my opinion, the fees aren’t a big deal – just adjust your prices accordingly.
Here’s what the changes look like if you publish on Amazon.com {you’ll need to look at the help page for changes to each country’s platform}:
Black and White Paperbacks
Color Ink Paperbacks
Hardcover Books
I know those are hard to see but clicking on those will take you to the help page about this.
It used to be that ALL books published on Amazon.com were $0.85 plus $0.12 per page. Period.
Now, they’ve split up the fee structure based on smaller and larger books and the prices differ for each. For black and white paperbacks, both have a fixed cost of $1.00 per book but smaller books charge the original $0.12 per page and larger books cost $0.17 per page.
It’s not a HUGE increase but it’s an increase. 😕
I personally still think KDP is GREAT but it’ll be important to know the new pricing structure and decide whether or not you need to update your book prices.
Here’s a direct link to the SOURCE – Amazon’s KDP Help Section with ALL the fee info.
READ that.
So tell me, does this change affect how YOU will continue to run your publishing biz?
Until next time…
