# KDP upload limit planner: 2 new titles per format a week Since 21 September 2026, KDP lets an account create 2 new titles per format each week, and the week resets every Sunday at 00:00 UTC. List your titles and the formats of each below to see which week each one can go out. Last reviewed 31 October 2026. Web page: https://chapbook.ink/tools/kdp-weekly-limit-planner/ ## The rule Since 21 September 2026, an Amazon KDP account may create 2 new titles per format (eBook, paperback, hardcover) each week. Since 5 October 2026, it may also submit 2 new titles per format each week for the first time, drafts included. The week resets every Sunday at 00:00 UTC. Books already published are not affected. Checked on 29 October 2026; source: [KDP's announcement](https://www.kdpcommunity.com/s/article/KDP-Title-Creation-Limits-Update). ## An example plan The sample books as a catalogue, planned on Thu 29 Oct 2026. Each format is queued on its own, in list order. 1. Week of Sun 25 Oct 2026 (resets Sun 1 Nov 2026, 00:00 UTC): Five Pricing Mistakes (eBook), Find Your First 100 Readers (eBook), The Pricing Playbook (Paperback), Slow Money (Paperback) 2. Week of Sun 1 Nov 2026 (resets Sun 8 Nov 2026, 00:00 UTC): The Pricing Playbook (eBook), The Welcome Sequence (eBook) 3. Week of Sun 8 Nov 2026 (resets Sun 15 Nov 2026, 00:00 UTC): Slow Money (eBook), The First Harvest (eBook) ## How the planner fills the weeks Each format has its own slots, so the planner queues each one on its own, in the order you list the titles. Week by week it takes the next titles that have that format, up to the limit, then moves to the next Sunday. A book's eBook and paperback may land in different weeks if one queue is longer than the other. KDP counts a title when you create it, not when it goes on sale, so plan by the day you will set each one up. Since 5 October 2026 it also limits first submissions to the same number per format each week, drafts included. The [guide to the limit](/guides/kdp-weekly-title-limit/) explains what changed and why. ## Made with Chapbook: Slow Money Slow Money: What a family bakery taught me about pricing, patience and staying small, by Rosa Almeida. Nonfiction book, 9,273 words, 37 pages. A sample generated from one brief and exported unedited; it is not a customer's book. Read every page: https://chapbook.ink/examples/bakery/ The brief: > Twenty years of running a two-shop family bakery: the decisions about price, growth and hours that kept it small and solvent. Promise: A clear-eyed account of how a small business stays small on purpose, with the numbers and rules of thumb that made it work. Reader: A small-business owner weighing a second location, a price rise, or a loan. Voice: First person, narrative chapters that each end with what the author would tell a friend; a fictional family, bakery and town; no invented statistics beyond the bakery's own illustrative numbers. The outline the planner proposed: 1. Prologue: The Second Oven (585 words) 2. The First Price Rise (1,250 words) 3. The Loan We Did Not Take (1,101 words) 4.

Every Sunday at 00:00 UTC, which is still Saturday evening in the Americas. ### Do the ebook and paperback of one book share a slot?
