Okay – I’ll admit it.
I’ve been fighting with this whole KENPC concept – the Unlimited
program at Amazon’s Kindle Publishing and I think I’ve now got a handle on what’s
going on.

Go figure… I finally read all the information that
has been available the whole time. But you know me – I just skim things and
figure I’ll delve into it the details later. Then it jumps up and bites me in
my rather oversized (but not for my age 🙂 derrière!!

Because I’m now involved in a box collection called Hotshot
Heroes, one we’ve only published on Amazon, this information has become
paramount to our making the best possible decisions for our set.

I searched for information and this is what I found.
I’ve added the paragraph that most affects the authors but I strongly recommend
every one of you to go and read the whole
page through and then do so again.

We
released KENPC v2.0 to improve the way we measure the length of each book.
KENPC v2.0 makes a number of improvements to how we standardize font, line
height, and spacing used to normalize the length of each book relative to one
another. This change will impact the KENPC of some titles while others will
remain unchanged. The average KENPC will change less than 5%, although
individual books’ changes may be larger or smaller. The new KENPC approach will
be applied uniformly to all KDP Select books and all versions of those books.
Regardless of which version a customer may be reading, all future royalties
will be paid using KENPC v2.0. If a customer previously borrowed your book and
is still reading it, any new pages read will be based on KENPC v2.0.

Let’s actually put this into perspective. I went to Special
Agent Kandice’s page on Amazon and it says there under Product
Details that the book has 236 pages. (This story came in at 62,182 words.)

Then I went to my Bookshelf on my KDP account
(Kindle Publishing), clicked on Special Agent Kandice and then clicked on the
Promotions and Advertise section that is available to authors under those three
dots on the right.

See above!
This is where you will find you actual page count
that Amazon is using to calculate the number of pages for the KENPC. (Kindle Edition
Normalized Page Count). And here, they’re telling me they’re using the number 342 as my
page count. That’s so awesomely, rad-ly, COOL! (Which I am not…sigh!)

So… depending on how much of your book that’s been
read, Amazon pays you a percentage from their monthly KDP Select Global Fund.
If people read the whole book, you’re paid based on that number of pages.
