    3:32 public domain: you can publish books with no copyright (let's say Shakespeare or The Bible). However, you need to add some additional value in order for Amazon to let you sell the book (illustrations, comments, etc.).

KDP is still reviewing it because apparently the book cover does not fit the 5 by 8 size i wanted. My cover designer has tried his best to adjust it and I uploaded about 3 times but still it says the size does not fit. don't know what to do. Can you help please?

    Hey so I’m looking into self publishing on KDP with some ideas I have for children’s books, but I was wondering, seeing as you have a few titles out, are you making enough income from them to live comfortably. I’m investing quite a bit on artists/illustrators for my story and hope I can see nice residuals coming in.

    Hi! It has it been a dream of mine to self publish my own children’s books for as long as I can remember. I have an iPad Pro and I love it! I am told by kdp that I can’t use my iPad to upload my illustrations to my cover and if I could find a way...my product would come out terrible! Is this true!! I really don’t care for windows and a Mac notebook would be so expensive. I am not the most technological person out there. And I have become so frustrated. I have been doing my illustrations on Procreate and my manuscript on the app pages. I would appreciate your help! Thanks!
