Track Amazon KDP, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Ads, Audible and ACX, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes and Noble Press, Google Play Books, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark, Lulu, BookBub, BookFunnel, Findaway Voices, Libby and OverDrive, Hoopla, Goodreads and Substack for authors. Report only confirmed, source-backed changes from the last 7 days: royalty, pricing, print cost and delivery fee changes; AI-content, content and account policy changes and enforcement waves; ad platform, promotion tool and pricing changes; library lending, audiobook program and subscription payout changes; distributor fee changes; and contests, grants, fellowships and residencies for authors with deadlines. Prefer platform announcements, help pages, official forums and established publishing reporting; ignore course marketing and unverified account-termination anecdotes. Put the platform first in the title and state the effect for an author earning $500 to $10,000 a month. Use high severity for a royalty or print cost change, an enforcement wave, or a deadline within 14 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, the income effect, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
