🚨 KDP REPORTING UPDATE
:Your numbers may look different
If you’ve noticed changes inside your KDP Reports, you’re not imagining things.
Amazon recently updated how certain Kindle and audiobook activity appears in the dashboard.
Here’s what changed:
⭐ KENP now includes Kindle+ activity. Pages read and listened to through Kindle+ are combined in your KENP reporting, with an option to filter by format.
⭐ Virtual Voice Audible Plus listening has been removed from KENP. This includes historical reporting, so some of your older numbers may look different, too.
⭐ Those royalties have not disappeared. Amazon says Audible Plus royalties are still being paid, but they now appear in the Audible Royalties column of the Prior Months’ Royalties and Payments reports.
⭐ Your estimated royalties may look lower. The KDP royalty estimator no longer includes Audible Plus listening, so it may not match your final payment report.
One important clarification: this reporting change applies to Virtual Voice titles in Audible Plus. It does not explain changes in credit sales or downloads for traditionally narrated ACX audiobooks.
What should you do?
Don’t panic if your KENP totals or estimated royalties suddenly look different. Wait for your finalized royalty and payment reports before deciding that income has actually dropped.
And remember: the estimator is helpful, but the Payments report is what determines what you are actually paid.
