Last week we concluded that books without an assigned ISBN and have never been published can be deleted from an author’s KDP bookshelf.

If a book has been published, it can be unpublished, but it cannot be removed from the KDP bookshelf.

Authors can do this by clicking UNPUBLISH under the ellipsis button. Once done, it will no longer be listed for sale.

It WILL remain on the author’s bookshelf, unless you archive it using the same ellipsis button, but selecting ARCHIVE TITLE instead. (And, yes, you can “unarchive” in the same manner.)

Next week, I’ll tackle the subject of updating books.
