Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a platform that allows authors and publishers to independently publish their books digitally and in print. Users can upload their manuscript, design a cover, set pricing, and make their work available on Amazon’s global marketplace. KDP handles distribution, printing (for paperbacks), and royalty payments, providing a straightforward way for creators to reach a wide audience without traditional publishing barriers. It's a popular choice for self-publishing authors seeking control over their work and a direct path to market.
