Withdraw a book from sale and reinstate withdrawn books

Removing books from sale

You can withdraw a book from sale anytime by clicking on Books, View and edit under the book in question, then Withdraw.

Many of our stores have 14 days to remove a book from sale, so we recommend that you wait at least two weeks before entering an exclusive distribution. Please note that it may take 4-6 weeks or longer for the titles to be removed from retail outlets around the world.

Please do not enter KDP Select until you are certain that your books have been appropriately removed.

Reinstating books

Once your KDP Select has ended or you have made all the changes you deemed necessary, you can reactivate your books any time by clicking on Books, View and edit, then Republish.

Making changes

You don't need to remove a book from sale to make changes or update your book. Just simply edit your book by clicking View and edit. Once you press Resubmit, your updates will be sent out to the stores.
