The benefits of KDP Select

What do you get for granting exclusivity to Amazon during those 90 days?

Within Amazon's marketplace there are many cross promotional sales opportunities giving your eBook greater exposure. Here's an overview of these:

  • Bestseller lists for both paid and free Kindle eBooks in every category. With the lists running side by side on the website, this means if you reach the top of the chart during your promotional free days, you'll be appearing right next to the top paid book.

  • When you buy an eBook on Amazon and reach the order page, they identify similar purchaser's purchases.

  • Your book/s will be listed in all of the places showing available library books within the Kindle Lending Library.

  • When viewing an eBook's promotional page, Amazon displays a list of other eBooks you may be interested in.

And finally, something worth considering if you have concerns that the exclusivity for 90 days is too limiting - don't forget there are free apps out there allowing people to read Kindle books on any device, so you don't have to own a Kindle to download from Amazon's Kindle marketplace.
