What does it mean, reading in KENP?



If you are the author or a reader, you will see the term KENP.

KENP stands for Kindle Edition Normalised Pages. Amazon uses the process as the formula to calculate the number of ebook pages read by a Kindle Unlimited subscriber.

For every page of your ebook that a reader reads, you earn royalties.

Some readers have a membership in Kindle Unlimited. If you are their member, it means you can download books for free. Every time when you read your downloaded e-book, it will show in statistics, by the number of reading pages. 

It is a good substitute for sale. For authors who have low sales, it would be good to have a higher rate of KENP read pages. That is not so simple, because it must count in thousands of pages to earn more. 

How does it work? You can only earn page read royalties when you enroll your ebook in Amazon KDP Select to make it available on Kindle Unlimited (KU).

However, when you enroll, you will have to agree to make your ebook exclusive to Amazon. It’s a choice you need to make.

But if you do enroll, you will earn money for every page read of your ebook or ebooks.

A KU reader doesn’t need to read your whole book for you to earn a payment. Because every page read counts, you will be paid even if a reader only reads one page.

It is a great opportunity for readers, if the author offers a free book, to download it. You will help the author if you read, and the author will be paid for this.

KENP reading is a better option than the refund. If you don't like it, just stop reading. If you use a refund, you are making damage to the author. The author will lose royalties. If you are reading in the KENP option, the author will be paid for your effort.

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...
