If the digital version of your book appears to be available for pre-order, for sale, or for free elsewhere (such as on your website or blog, or a third party’s website), then it is not eligible for KDP Select.Īdding new content (such as bonus content, author’s commentary section, etc.) to a book that is available elsewhere will not satisfy the exclusivity requirements. “When you enroll a book in KDP Select, you’re committing to making the digital format of that book available exclusively through KDP while it’s enrolled in the program.Īll content enrolled in KDP Select must remain for sale through the Kindle Store only. There is also a restriction on the amount of free sample content you can use, even on your website.Īmazon’s explanation of Kindle Direct Publishing Select (KDPS) digital (ebook) exclusivity is quite clear: You cannot offer your ebook in any file format on any other ebook retailer. It does not apply to paperback or audiobook versions of your title. It is important to note that Amazon only requires exclusivity for your Kindle ebook version.
