Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP)

[Switch Blayde]

Amazon's definition for the number of pages for an ebook on KDP is: "The estimated length is calculated using the number of page turns on a Kindle, using settings to closely represent a physical book."


Does anyone know how this compares to Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP)?

I have no clue how they calculate either one, but, if you try their 'sample viewer' (where they display it on imaginary devices on a webpage), you get a pretty good view of how the pages break down on each device. It sounds like KDP pages are based on 6"x9", whereas the KENP is based on a specific device size.

I got a response from an author on wattpad who said it has been discussed at length on the KDP forum. She said the two are calculated differently.
