Frequently asked questions

Which HTML does KDP support?

Bold, italic, underline, headings, line breaks, paragraphs and ordered and unordered lists. Anything else is stripped.

What is the character limit?

4,000 characters including the HTML tags, so formatting uses up space. The counter above includes the tags.

Why format the description?

Plain walls of text convert poorly. A bold hook, short paragraphs and a bullet list make the listing easier to scan and tend to sell better.
