kdpbookaiKDP lets you pick up to 3 categories for each book. Categories decide which lists your book appears in.
How to choose
- Set the primary audience and marketplace first; they change which categories you see.
- For children's books, set the reading age. It limits the Children's and Teen categories you can use.
- Pick the most specific category that truly describes the book, not the biggest one.
- Look at books like yours on Amazon and see which lists they appear in.
A precise category also helps the reader: a parent browsing bedtime stories wants to find bedtime stories there.
