Am I able to use KDP for content currently published elsewhere?
26 May 2023
Yes, if you own the rights to your book you can publish using KDP if it has previously been published elsewhere. If your book has an existing ISBN from a different publisher, it must have the same title, author name, and binding type on KDP to continue using that ISBN. Any change to the details of your book will require it to be a new edition and have a new ISBN.

The only circumstance in which your book cannot be sold on other platforms is if you enroll your eBook in KDP Select, which makes it exclusive to Amazon. For more information on this, visit our KDP Select page.
