Frequently asked questions
How do I get the new reports?
Go to kdpreports.amazon.com. Bookmark this link to save it for later and access reports whenever you need them. You can also access KDP Reports beta from the Reports tab in your KDP account.How far back does the data go?
- Daily data for orders are available from January 1, 2018 to the present.
- Daily data for KENP Read is available for the lifetime of your account. You can see up to 90 days of data at a time.
- The Royalties Estimator shows an estimate for the current month, and, if applicable, last month, depending on if the KDP Select Global Fund amount has been announced.
- The payment report only includes KDP payments made after November 2013.
How can I filter the data?
You can filter the Orders, KENP Read, Payments, and Royalties Estimator data using the drop-down menus at the top of the page. To see order data on a specific book, use the Books filter. You can see all your books in detail and compare up to five of them on the Orders and KENP Read reports.How often is the data updated?
The report data is updated when eBook orders are placed and when paperback orders are shipped. Here are some things to keep in mind:- It may take extra time for reports to reflect unfulfilled orders, such as cancellations, returns, and customer credit card failures.
- It may take 24 to 48 hours for your estimated royalties to catch up to your order data. This is because royalties appear only after payment is recorded.
- If your book is enrolled in KDP Select, data is updated as new pages are read by customers who borrow your book from KU.
- For Expanded Distribution, data is updated at the end of the month following the month in which the sale occurred.
- Totals are calculated based on the time zone where orders are recorded (e.g., GMT for Amazon.co.uk).
