If your ebook is in KDP Select, your October page count for Kindle+ is not final yet. KDP says it settles near 15 November, so this week the useful job is to learn where each number lives, and wait before you judge it.

The lesson: the KENP report counts Kindle+ reading and listening only. Some of your listening shows up in other places.

All KDP help pages below were checked on 9 November 2026. None of them shows an updated date. Our 3 November post on Kindle+ audiobooks covers which audiobooks get in. This post is only about reading the reports.

What KDP says

KDP's Royalties in Kindle+ page says: "The KENP report shows customers' Kindle+ reading and listening activity only." You can filter it by "format (Kindle+ read, Kindle+ listened)".

The same page adds: "Monthly KENP numbers may change and will be finalized near the 15th of the following month for pages read and listened to."

Two kinds of listening are not in that report. "Audible Plus listening from your audiobooks with virtual voice is included with Audible ALC royalties in the Audible royalties column of the Prior Month's Royalties report." And "Audible royalties for your ACX audiobooks will continue to be found in your ACX account only."

KDP's KDP Reports page says the Royalties Estimator figure for Kindle+ "is only an estimate and won't match your actual earnings." The KENP page on how KENP is counted says the fund for a month is announced "near the 15th of the following month".

A small example

Ruth has one cozy mystery in KDP Select, with an ebook and a virtual-voice audiobook. Her October KENP report shows 2,000 pages under Kindle+ read and 600 under Kindle+ listened. She expected more listening. She then opens Prior Month's Royalties and finds the Audible Plus listening in the Audible royalties column, not in KENP. Nothing was missing. It was in a different report.

Five steps for this week

  1. Mark 15 November on your calendar. October numbers can still change until then, so check again after that date before you draw any conclusion.
  2. Open the KENP report and filter by format. Go to kdpreports.amazon.com, choose the KENP report, and look at Kindle+ read and Kindle+ listened one at a time.
  3. Find your other listening. If you have a virtual-voice audiobook, look in the Audible royalties column of the Prior Month's Royalties report. If you have an ACX audiobook, look in your ACX account.
  4. Treat the estimator as a guess. KDP says the Kindle+ line in the Royalties Estimator won't match what you are paid. Compare it with Prior Month's Royalties once that report updates near the 15th.
  5. Save a copy. KDP's steps: select "Download Report" at the top right, then open the "KENP tab" in the spreadsheet. Keep one file per month in a folder, so you can compare months side by side.

If a number still looks wrong after the 15th, write down the book, the month and the report name, then contact KDP support with your saved files. KDP's pages state no reason for any change in page counts, so we don't offer one here.

The one-line takeaway: wait for the 15th, filter by format, and look for listening in the Audible column before you worry.
