If you have any urgent matters during the holiday, please place a ticket and choose "Urgent" priority at help.inscribedigital.com or email help@inscribedigital.com with "URGENT" in the subject line. We will address all urgent matters as soon as we return to the office.
Additionally, the annual BookExpo will take place May 30th - June 1st. Please note, support will be limited during this time. We will be giving priority to urgent tickets, so you may experience longer resolution times for lower priority tickets. We appreciate your patience! |

Kindle Enterprise Publishing (KEP), Amazon's platform designed for larger independent publishers, is now live in Athena. Please download the new Bulk Metadata sheet which includes KEP from our resources page here.
Publishers can choose to be entirely in KEP or P2K, no exceptions. You cannot split your catalog between P2K and KEP, as we've done in the past. This is a new requirement from Amazon. As a result, you MUST notify us if you want to start sending to KEP. We will be blocking publishers from KEP going forward to ensure that content is not inadvertently sent, jeopardizing your P2K account. You will need to be unblocked before adding KEP to your retailers. |
