## Summary

The KDP Help Center is where Amazon publishes its own rules and how-to pages for KDP: manuscript and cover requirements, pricing and royalty bands, categories and keywords, KDP Select, taxes and identity verification. Its home page also carries current announcements, such as Kindle Unlimited being renamed Kindle+ and the 70% eBook royalty band widening to $2.99 to $12.99 on Amazon.com. Topic URLs move often, so search from the home page rather than relying on old links, and treat third-party summaries as secondary to it.
