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.

6 signs that your readers don't read your book

Your book is live. That day came, and now you need an audience, a reader's community to show interest. What you need are readers who will read and review your book. The author feel excited like a student who went to the exam and waits for his mark. In this situation, you are not afraid of negative reviews. What is the point? Sometimes, your readers are not reading your book. They pretend they read, instead of this they are scrolling pages and write reviews, thinking they are doing a favor. A real reader will need time to read book. It is not fast eating and swallowing, there is much more in reading books. It demands your time, focus and attention, also understanding. That is why I read 20-30 books per year, I can't do more. A book review can talk much about reader. If the review is short, it could be a sign that a book is not read. Maybe I am wrong, maybe a reader did not enjoy so he left only a note. How to know your book is not read? There are no sign of reading pages in your...
