Should I use 404?

NEW! Total KDP KU Author Earnings for August are $69.4 Million. [Learn more](/select) - kdp.amazon.com

· 3 days ago

Indie authors who want Amazon's store, print-on-demand, and Kindle Unlimited payouts use KDP, and publishing is free to start. Authors wanting wide distribution outside Amazon, or full-service publishing help, go elsewhere; the reviewed evidence is thin, so confidence is low.
