Know where your ebook stands
before you upload it to KDP

Amazon now asks if your ebook is accessible.
Do you know how to answer honestly?

Accessibility isn’t just for textbooks or image-heavy nonfiction. Even a simple fiction manuscript can have issues that prevent screen readers and assistive technologies from working properly.

And yet, most authors are guessing when they check that box on KDP, or they say they don’t know the answer, which may lose them book sales along the way.

What You’ll Get

  • A professional ePub accessibility assessment
  • A plain-English summary of how your file measures up
  • A breakdown of major issues (if any) and how they affect readers
  • Guidance on whether or not you should mark your file as “accessible” in KDP
  • Clear next steps for requesting detailed information to fix the issues yourself—or to have us fix them for you

Why This Matters

When you upload an ebook to Amazon, you're making a promise to your readers—whether you realize it or not.

Accessibility means your story, knowledge or ideas are available to everyone—including readers who use screen readers, braille displays, or voice control to navigate.

For just $55, you can stop guessing and gain peace of mind, knowing exactly where your ebook stands and how to improve it if needed.

Turnaround Time

You’ll receive your assessment within 3 business days via email.

Who This Is For

  • Indie authors
  • Small publishers
  • Ebook designers
  • Anyone who wants to make sure their ePub file is compliant, responsible and inclusive

Bonus

If you decide to purchase our Done-For-You ePub Remedy service later, you’ll receive a $75 credit toward that work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of files can I submit?

We currently accept EPUB files for assessment. That’s the format Amazon KDP and other retailers require when evaluating accessibility.

Does this work for both fiction and nonfiction?

Yes! Accessibility applies to all ebooks, not just image-heavy nonfiction. Fiction files often contain issues with headings, navigation or formatting that can still make them difficult to read with assistive technology. Our assessment identifies those kinds of issues, even if your book doesn’t include pictures or charts.

What if I'm not technical?

That’s exactly why we created this service. We deliver your assessment in plain English—no code, no jargon. If issues are found, we explain what they mean and how they affect your readers, and we offer clear options for how you can address them.

Can you fix the issues for me too?

Yes, we offer two additional services:

  • A custom Action Plan with a detailed checklist if you prefer to do the fixes yourself or have your ebook designer fix them, or

  • A Done-For-You Remedy, where we handle the technical cleanup for you.

You’re never locked into anything—you can decide after reviewing your assessment whether you'd like additional support from us or not.
