Rationale
Amazon KDP is a self-publishing platform that allows authors to publish eBooks, paperbacks, and hardcovers. It provides tools for manuscript and cover formatting (rich-text-editor via Kindle Create), offers royalty options including Kindle Unlimited (membership-monetization), and provides reports for sales and royalties (reader-engagement-metrics). Authors can create author pages (user-profiles-and-following) and categorize their books with genres/topics (tags-and-topics). While not explicitly an email newsletter integration, KDP offers marketing tools and advertising options. The platform is accessible via web, and Kindle books are available on mobile apps (mobile-app-access). Books are discoverable through Amazon's search and categorization (search-and-discovery). The core difference is that KDP is for publishing books, not short-form articles, and its distribution/recommendation engine is Amazon's retail platform, not a dedicated content feed like Medium.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.

After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
