About KNPLIV
KNPLIV is an independent showcase for books self-published on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. The idea fits in one sentence: a self-published book usually has only one page to exist on — the store's. Here it gets a second one, written by its author and built to be found somewhere other than a sales engine.
Why this site exists
In an online store a book is one item among millions. It rises while it sells, disappears when it stops, and its author has no say in how it is presented. A page that belongs to the book changes that: it can be indexed by search engines, quoted in an email, sent to a bookseller, a journalist or a reader — and it stays put whatever today's rankings say.
What you will find
For every book: its cover, the blurb its author wrote, its category, language and format, and a direct link to its Amazon page. For every author: their books, and the articles they chose to write — writing diaries, extracts, lessons learned from self-publishing.
How a book gets listed
Without signing up. You give the book's ASIN — the ten characters in its Amazon address — then type in your own page. We check on the Amazon page that the book exists and is genuinely self-published; that check is what replaces creating an account. Every submission is then read before publication.
Opening an account remains possible but is never required: it is only useful for writing articles and following your submissions.
What we do not do
We take no data from Amazon: no cover, no blurb, no price, no ranking. Everything shown here was submitted by the author, who declares holding the rights and may ask for removal at any time. We sell no books, take no commission, and promise no commercial result.
The catalogue is reserved for books published freely by their authors: titles released by a traditional publisher do not belong here — they already have a house to defend them.
Independence
