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.
