You may notice that your Amazon sales may not match exactly your final sales in royalty reports from Kindle Direct Publishing or your publisher. This is because some orders that customers place do not fully complete, whether due to payment issues, cancellation, or other special circumstances. As such, if you see a discrepancy between your orders and your royalty reports, you should consider the information provided by your publisher or KDP as the official record of your total books sold.
By default, your sales graph shows the most recent 30 days of activity. You can select any date range from the available data by using the calendar tool on the sales dashboard. Set your desired start date and end date, and the graph will update automatically.
The Author Pro Marketing Events feature lets you track the promotional efforts you or your publisher take on behalf of your books. You can monitor any type of Marketing Events you choose: in-person appearances, ad campaigns, price changes, or other efforts.

","AA_ContactUs_DYK_DeleteAuthorPage":"In order to help customers better browse their favorite authors and find new ones, Author Pages are not removed.If you would like to close your account and remove content you've added from the Author Page, let us know.
If you are the editor of a collection of work, please provide the ASIN or ISBN of the book. If you are the editor of a work with one or more primary authors listed, we will not be able to add the book to your bibliography.
Some Editorial Reviews cannot be edited or removed by authors or publishers. These reviews will have titles such as From Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal. In order to keep Editorial Reviews objective and informative, we rely on many sources to provide content for this section. We work to create a diversity of opinion on our site, and this may include negative reviews, when they arise.
For this reason, you may sometimes see mismatching numbers between the two reports. Also, while returns will be counted toward sales totals in Sales Info, they will not be reflected in CreateSpace royalty reports.
If you have an active publisher or distributor for a title that our site lists as out of print, you will need to work with your publisher or distributor to register the title and provide us with updates on its availability.
Your publisher or printer may display your royalties based on the quantity Amazon.com originally orders, rather than completed sales. Sales on Amazon.com are not immediately reported to your publisher and can take up to 30 days after the unit has sold.
Please keep in mind that if you contributed to an anthology or another book with multiple contributors, in some cases the book may not be available for you to add to your Author Page. If this is the case for you, please contact us with the information mentioned above.
Amazon Books was a chain of retail bookstores owned by online retailer Amazon. The first store opened on November 2, 2015, in Seattle, Washington. On March 2, 2022, it was reported that all Amazon Books would close on various dates in the future.[1]
The first location in Seattle had approximately 5,000 titles stocked on its bookshelves, using shelf space to display the covers of books facing outwards instead of spines; according to Amazon, the decision was made to showcase the authors and their work, rather than efficient use of space. The shelves displayed positive reviews and star-ratings from the Amazon.com website and prices were matched to online equivalents.[2][3]
The store also sold Amazon electronics, including the Amazon Kindle e-book reader, the Kindle Fire tablet series, the Amazon Echo, and the Amazon Fire TV.[4][2] Two locations of Amazon Books had a cafe.
The first Amazon Books store opened on November 2, 2015, located at the University shopping center in Seattle, Washington.[2] The store has been described as the first permanent store from Amazon,[5] who opened pop-up shops and pickup outlets on several university campuses in 2015.[6] In February 2016, tech news website Re/code reported that longtime Amazon executive Steve Kessel was leading the retail store initiative, having previously been part of the team to launch the first Amazon Kindle e-reader.[7] During development of the project, it was referred to as "Project Anne" in filings with the city.[8]
Amazon Books' second store opened on September 7, 2016, in San Diego, California,.[13] It was followed by openings at Washington Square near Portland, Oregon,[14] Legacy Place in Dedham, Massachusetts,[15] Chicago, New York City, and Paramus, New Jersey. Other stores in New York City, Bellevue, Washington, Atlanta, Georgia, Pacific Palisades (Los Angeles) were expected to open between 2017 and 2019.[16][17][18][19]
In November 2016, Amazon Books began charging non-Amazon Prime members a separate price for books and other non-electronic products, while Amazon Prime members retained the online price-matched rate.[20]
Local bookstores in the Seattle area described wariness over the physical presence of Amazon.com, with the University Book Store in the U District noting "different spending patterns" two months after the opening of Amazon's store; an Amazon spokesperson dismissed the notion that Amazon Books would interfere with independent bookstores and their operations, stating that "offline retail is a big space with room for lots of winners."[21]
The executive vice president of Half Price Books, a national chain of new and used bookstores, saw the interest that Amazon is showing in expanding brick-and-mortar bookstores as something good for the industry, stating in February 2016 that it was a sign that the "printed word isn't dead."[22]
After the announcement of a third store in Portland, Oregon, CEO Miriam Sontz of local bookstore Powell's Books stated that Amazon's move to open physical stores was an acknowledgement that "something special occurs in a physical bookstore that is not replicable online" and that Portland was "filled with book lovers and book buyers", quoting bank robber Willie Sutton's quip that he targeted banks "because that's where the money is."[23]
The New Yorker, covering the first New York City store opening at Columbus Circle, called it in a headline "Not Built for People Who Actually Read," continuing to say the store is "designed to further popularize, on Amazon, that which is already popular on Amazon."[24]
