Kids' activity book questions

What trim size is best for a kids' activity book on KDP?

kdpbook.io starts kids' activity books at 8.5 × 11 in on black & white interior, white paper. You can switch to 8 × 10 in, 8.5 × 8.5 in, 8.27 × 11.69 in (A4), 8.25 × 11 in; the layout and cover are recalculated for the new size.

How many pages should a kids' activity book have?

Our kids' activity book template runs 24–200 pages and defaults to 104. For this ink and trim, KDP accepts 24–590 pages. KDP counts every page, including front matter and blank pages, and rounds odd counts up to an even number.

How much does it cost to print a kids' activity book on KDP?

At the default 104 pages, 8.5 × 11 in, black & white · white paper, KDP's printing cost on Amazon.com is $2.84 per paperback copy, so the lowest list price KDP allows is $5.68. At $7.99 you would earn about $1.16 per copy sold on Amazon.com. Printing costs change with the marketplace, trim and page count.

Can I publish a kids' activity book as a Kindle eBook?

No. Not offered: KDP lists this kind of book as unsuited to Kindle, so it is print only. You can publish it as a paperback or hardcover.

How many credits does a kids' activity book cost on kdpbook.io?

The default kids' activity book (104 pages, 42 illustrations) is estimated at 593 credits. You see the exact estimate before you launch, only what is produced is charged, and the rest of the hold goes back to your balance.

Is a kids' activity book a low-content book on KDP?

No. KDP's low-content category only covers notebooks, planners, journals with repeating pages and logbooks. A kids' activity book is published like any other book and can use the free KDP ISBN.

Do I have to tell Amazon the book was made with AI?

Yes. KDP asks every publisher to declare AI-generated text, images and translations when publishing. kdpbook.io books are AI-generated, and the export sheet lists what to declare for yours.
