Amazon KDP Print pre-schedule feature is NOT a pre-order | Amazon KDP Updates 2023 | KDP Fail
Well, I WAS excited about this announcement. Until I read the fine print.
Two weeks ago Amazon KDP announced that authors can now pre-schedule print releases. I was so excited, thinking that we FINALLY got the print pre-order.
But it is NOT a pre-order. It is a way to schedule the release day, the print listing will not show on Amazon.com for purchase until the release date. So we still don’t get a true print pre-order via Amazon KDP.
Okay, so status quo.
Not really. I think this is going to make things worse. Here’s why.
I see a lot of authors making note of this and pre-scheduling the release. Then, oh, still not a preorder, let me go my usual route through IngramSpark to do the print pre-order. But when IngramSpark goes to push that print metadata for the preorder to Amazon.com, they already have the listing scheduled to release later. So no print pre-order at all.
Yes, some very savvy and careful authors will know to avoid this, but as we all know, first-time authors (and even us seasoned authors) have a lot to do. I foresee this being a much bigger customer service headache and a big issue for us authors who just want to have one simple and clear call to action.
