Before you make a book available for pre-order
Setting list price for pre-order
books
You can set the list price for your pre-order book based on our list price requirements. You can change your list price during the pre-order period, but if you lower it, we'll retroactively charge that lower price to customers who have already pre-ordered your book. If you raise the price during pre-order, all prior customers will still pay the lower price. Your royalty will be based on the actual price we charge customers.
Enrolling pre-order books in KDP Select
You can enroll your pre-order book in KDP Select, and the KDP Select term will begin on the book's release date. Free promotions and Countdown Deals can be scheduled only after the book release.
