In the last few months, Amazon KDP accounts have been terminated for several reasons.

Today, I’ll dive into why your Amazon KDP account can be terminated and how to protect it.

So, the first rule is: Don’t believe everything you hear in random Facebook groups or forums.

Instead, let’s focus on legitimate ways to protect your account.
