KDP A+ Content for a Puzzle Book: What to Show Buyers

Most KDP A+ content puzzle book pages fail for one reason: they repeat the cover instead of showing the puzzles. A shopper scrolling past your listing wants one answer: will I be able to read and enjoy these pages?

This guide covers where A+ content lives in KDP, which modules suit a puzzle book, which interior pages to turn into images, and the rules that get A+ content rejected. The cryptogram at the top of this page is a small break from listing work; every message is a listing tip.

What Is KDP A+ Content and Where Do You Add It?

A+ content is a set of images and text blocks that appear under From the Publisher on your book's Amazon page. You create it from the KDP Marketing page: choose a marketplace in the A+ Content section and click Manage A+ Content.

According to KDP's Create A+ Content help page, you add modules, apply the content to your book's ASINs (several formats can share one project), preview on desktop and mobile, and submit for approval. Compliant content appears within eight business days, and can take longer in busy periods.

1. Publish the paperback first so it has an ASIN.
2. Go to Marketing, find A+ Content, pick the marketplace and click Manage A+ Content.
3. Click Start creating A+ content, name the project and choose the language.
4. Add up to five modules and fill each with images and text.
5. Apply the content to your book's ASINs, preview on desktop and mobile, and submit for approval.

Which A+ Modules Work Best for a Puzzle Book?

Image-led modules work best because the product is visual. A buyer believes a large-print claim when they can see a large-print page, not when they read the phrase in a banner.

Exact image sizes differ by module, so check KDP's A+ Content examples page for the module you choose. Images upload as JPG or PNG.

Which Interior Pages Should You Turn Into A+ Images?

Choose pages that show the book's promise honestly. If the cover says large print, show the largest, clearest page; if it says easy to hard, show one easy page and one hard page side by side.

• A typical puzzle page

  Not the easiest or the prettiest, just a representative one. Buyers trust what looks real.

• A difficulty contrast

  An early easy page next to a late hard page, labelled with the level from the page header.

• A solution page

  Many buyers want to know the answers are included and easy to find.

• The contents or intro page

  A short, friendly intro tells buyers the book was put together with care.

PuzzlePage's KDP Book Studio builds the interior PDF but does not produce A+ images directly. Open your interior PDF, export the pages you want as PNG files (Preview on a Mac and most PDF readers can do this), then crop and place them in your A+ graphics.

What Do Amazon's A+ Content Rules Prohibit?

Amazon's A+ Content Guidelines list several kinds of content that will get a submission rejected. Most of them are easy to avoid once you know them.

• Prices, discounts and promotions, including phrases like buy now or add to cart.
• Customer reviews or quotes from reviews.
• Time-sensitive words such as now, new, latest or on sale now.
• Links, website addresses, email addresses or phone numbers.
• Guarantees and off-Amazon return or refund policies.
• Comparisons with competitors' products.

What Are Common Mistakes on Puzzle Book Listings?

The most common mistake is showing graphics instead of pages. The second is text that does not match the book: a listing that says 120 puzzles on a book with 100, or large print on a standard-size grid.

• Repeating the cover in the header banner instead of showing a puzzle.
• Using stock photos of pencils and coffee with no actual pages.
• Claiming a puzzle count or page count that is not exact.
• Tiny text inside images that becomes unreadable on a phone.
• Forgetting to apply the A+ content to the book's other formats.

Accurate numbers are easy to get right. The Studio's KDP Check panel shows the exact puzzle count, page count and trim size of your build. For context, the median book built in Book Studio since July 2026 has 100 puzzles.

The Studio's Listing Pack drafts the text half of the Amazon upload form: title, subtitle, seven keywords, two category suggestions and a description, as a starting point you edit. KDP now lets you choose three categories, so add a third of your own. Want to test a theme before committing to a whole book?
