Low-content books on KDP

What counts as low-content, what changes when you tick the box, and which books do not qualify.

Checked November 9, 2026Plain text version

Low-content books are books whose pages are mostly the same and meant to be written in: lined journals, planners, logbooks, notebooks.

What changes

  • ISBN: not required. You can publish without one.
  • Free KDP ISBN: not offered for low-content books.

What is usually not low-content

Coloring and puzzle books are generally not low-content. Workbooks with real teaching content, guided journals with many different prompts and puzzle books are not repeated blank pages either.

If in doubt, publish it as a regular book with an ISBN. That is never wrong; ticking low-content on a book that is not can be.
