KDP Analytics & Data
How to read your KDP reports, track sales velocity, and use data to make smarter publishing decisions.
Making sense of your KDP analytics
KDP analytics is where guesswork ends: your royalty reports, unit sales, and KENP page reads tell you what's actually working, if you know how to read them. Most authors glance at the dashboard, see a number, and move on. The number that matters is the trend, and Amazon's reports bury it.
These guides cover reading your royalty reports without confusion, tracking sales over time, telling unit sales apart from KENP page-read income, and understanding sales velocity, the signal Amazon watches most. Once you can read the data, you can tell a real slowdown from normal noise and act before a slide becomes a stall.
Amazon's own reports only show your account, and only when you log in. Our daily book monitoring tracks BSR, reviews, and rank over time and emails you when something shifts, so the trend finds you instead of the other way around.
