Sales Reports
Sales Reports
There are eight kinds of reports available in your KDP account. Click the links below to learn more about each report.
| Report | What you'll see in it |
|---|---|
| Sales Dashboard | Orders, sales, and Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP) read for the past 90 days. |
| Historical | Your historical sales and KU data up to the month of the most recently released Prior Months’ Royalty report. |
| Month-to-Date | Your unit sales transactions and KENP read for the current or prior month. |
| Payments | Information about your payments for sales and KENP read. |
| Pre-orders | Units ordered for books you have made available for pre-order. |
| Promotions | The performance of your Kindle Countdown Deals promotions. |
| Prior Months’ Royalties | Your royalties by month. |
| Ad Campaigns | If you already registered your Amazon Advertising account, go to the Marketing tab and in the Amazon Advertising field, select the marketplace you’d like to access and click Create a Campaign. You’ll be redirected to the Amazon Advertising site, where you can see the campaign reporting. |
Important: If you list a book for pre-order, it will release at midnight, Eastern time, in the U.S. Since other U.S. time zones will not have reached midnight, you may notice sales activity from the day before your selected release date. This is expected behavior for pre-order sales.
