Your KDP dashboard just got a quiet update—and if you breeze past it, your ebook might lose out on visibility. In this week’s Self-Publishing News, we break down what Amazon added, why it matters, and how it ties into a much bigger conversation around accessibility. Plus, we cover new promo tools, AI changes, and a warning about scammers targeting indie authors.
