KDP Publishing 10: Establish Final Kindle Approval

A submit button is not approval; approval is an explicit record tied to one format and one release candidate.

What You Will Produce

• Objective: Confirm identity, file hashes, accessibility, pricing, territory, program choices, and Previewer evidence for Kindle.
• Action: Find missing evidence in a sample approval summary and mark the boundary at which submission must stop.
• Evidence: A Kindle approval summary naming the release candidate, approver, approval time, and every required evidence item.

Summarize the Kindle Evidence

Bring the approved listing identity, EPUB and cover hashes, accessibility and AI records, current pricing decisions, territory, program choices, and Previewer disposition into one review surface.

Approval Has a Format Boundary

The approver confirms a specific Kindle release candidate at a specific time. This approval does not authorize paperback submission, later file changes, or a repeated click after the state becomes uncertain.

Practice: Find the Missing Item

Review the sample summary and stop where evidence is absent or inconsistent. Name the owner and the upstream step that must be corrected before a new approval can be issued.

Where This Fits in the Series

Closing Principle

Without explicit final approval for this Kindle release candidate, submission stops.
