# Low-content books on KDP

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

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.

> kdpbookai marks the low-content types (such as lined notebooks) and adds the no-ISBN steps to the checklist in your download.
