Step-by-Step Guide
Log into KDP
Visit kdp.amazon.com and sign in to your account.
Navigate to Reports
Click on the "Reports" tab in the main navigation menu.
Find Prior Months' Royalties
Look for the "Prior Months' Royalties" section. This contains your historical royalty data.

Common Issues
Can't find Prior Months' Royalties?
Make sure you're looking in the Reports section, not the Bookshelf. The Prior Months' Royalties section is separate from your current month's dashboard data.
No download button available?
Reports are typically available 60 days after the end of the month. If you don't see a download option, the data may not be ready yet or you may not have had any sales that month.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Downloading the wrong file type
Make sure you download the full Prior Months' Royalties report, not the current month dashboard data. The file should be named something like "Prior_Months_Royalties_2024-01.csv"
Missing recent months
Remember that KDP reports have a 60-day delay. If it's March 15th, you can only download reports up through January. February's data won't be available yet.
Forgetting international marketplaces
Each Amazon marketplace (US, UK, DE, FR, etc.) has separate reports. You need to download reports from each marketplace where you have sales. Familiar can handle reports from all marketplaces.
