KDP Terms & Conditions: What They ACTUALLY Mean
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) has Terms & Conditions you must agree to before you publish a book through their platform. However, many account holders don't bother reading them, rely on others to relay the info, or blindly agree to it without knowing everything. Sadly, this leads to preventable mistakes and often account terminations or suspensions. That's why I'm leaning on artificial intelligence to breakdown the Terms and Conditions so anyone can understand it.
