- Display data for more than one book on a single graph so you can compare books and see title-level trends. You can compare up to 10 books at a time.
- Estimate your monthly royalties in a single currency of your choice.
- Use your phone and other mobile devices to view reports.
Note:The old reports will continue to be available for a limited time at https://kdp.amazon.com/reports-old. We'll notify you before we remove them.

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.
