Your Amazon book ads, run by an agent that shows its work.

Stop babysitting bids. KenpIQ manages KDP campaigns inside hard limits you set, logs every change with the reason, and shows true break-even including Kindle Unlimited page-read income (KENP).

No Amazon login needed — works from reports you already download.

Bid babysitting eats your evenings

Log in every 2–3 days, tweak bids keyword by keyword, repeat forever. Time you could spend writing the next book.

Money bleeds invisibly

“June closed with $682 in royalties and $757 in ad spend.” Dead keywords quietly drain your budget while dashboards look fine.

The KENP mystery

Kindle Unlimited pays roughly $0.004 per page read — reported late and separately. “Every calculation gives a different breakeven.”

See it work

Like an employee who reports what they did — and why.

Every bid change, pause, and hold lands in a ledger with the reason attached. ACOS — ad spend divided by sales — stays visible on every decision. Nothing moves outside the guardrails you set.

How it works

From report to results in four steps

KDP is Amazon's self-publishing platform — and its ads run entirely on reports you can already download.

  1. Upload your ad report

    A CSV you already download from Amazon. No login, no account connection, no risk.

  2. Set guardrails once

    Budget ceiling, maximum bid change per step, and launch gates for new campaigns.

  3. Agent reviews every few days

    Lowers bleeding bids, pauses dead keywords, and computes KENP break-even from your real numbers.

  4. You read the ledger and approve

    Get a bulk-upload file to push back to Amazon in one click. Direct API integration comes in v2.

This math, recomputed on every review — per book, automatically.

KenpIQ tracks true break-even with KENP included and logs every bid it changes because of it. Founder pricing from $29/mo — reserve yours with a fully refundable $9 deposit.

The frustrations we kept hearing

Why we're building this

These are the recurring struggles KDP authors describe about running Amazon ads — paraphrased, not attributed to anyone. If they sound familiar, KenpIQ is built for you.

“I paid Amazon to advertise a book, then realized my ads were competing against my own listing.”

“I poured hundreds into ads and had no idea if any of it actually made money.”

“Every break-even calculation I try gives me a different number.”

Built in public by a solo developer who got tired of the guesswork.
