Your β€œon fire” energy is contagious!! Okay, I’ve got number 3 down. Been embracing technology for years πŸ˜‚ Number 1 is my main goal for this year. Finish writing and actually PUBLISH more books. Number 2 is where I fall down big time πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ

Question about that guy with the 40-odd books in a series - I assume you can't put all 40 in one boxset for KU, right? Would you break that up in, say, 8 boxsets instead?

I like 6-book box sets, but 12-book sets also do really well! - JT

JT would know more but I think you can do whatever you want. Personally, I'd break it up, and as a reader I'd feel a 40 book box set was a bit much, even for me 🀣

Yeah, a bit intimidating, lol. But I think technically the file size would be too large with 40+ books in one boxset. Maybe?

There’s a limit for what you can get paid. This is from Amazon’s KDP help page regarding royalties in Kindle Unlimited: β€œAuthors are able to earn a maximum of 3,000 Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP) Read per title per customer. This means that each time your Kindle eBook is borrowed and read, you can receive credit for up to 3,000 pages.”

So my understanding of this (and what I’ve seen discussed online) is that you CAN have a title that’s longer than 3000 KENP if you want, but you’ll only get paid up to 3000 and then presumably miss out on the rest πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜•

So if, for example, you have a box set that comes out at 6000 KENP, I assume it would make much more sense to split that into two box sets.
