Paperback and Hardcover Distribution Rights

During title setup, you choose the territories where you hold publishing rights. If you already set up a Kindle eBook, KDP uses the territorial rights you chose as a default for your paperback or hardcover. You can change the territories if needed.

If you've sold the rights to your book to another publisher, your agreement may require you to remove the book from your bookshelf. Learn how to unpublish your book.

Worldwide rights

If you're sure you have all rights necessary to make your book available worldwide, choose All territories (worldwide rights). If your book is your original content and you've never published it before, you most likely have worldwide rights. Choosing "Worldwide rights" will allow customers from around the world to buy your KDP book on the following Amazon marketplaces:

Paperback

Individual territory rights

KDP paperback and hardcover availability may not always align with eBook availability. If you don't hold worldwide rights to sell and distribute your title, choose Individual territories. Then, choose the territories in which you hold rights. Customers will be able to buy your books from Amazon marketplaces depending on the territories where you have rights to distribute. KDP paperbacks and hardcover books are available for purchase on the following Amazon marketplaces:
