How to Format Your ebooks Into a Bundle Book for Kindle/Amazon Publishing in Less Than 5 Mins

About this video

Sean gives a quick tutorial on making KDP book bundles — compilation books that combine single books, e.g. three books in a series, into one new book to sell. He explains the policy difference he states: on KDP you can technically reuse the same book files multiple times in different bundle combinations, as long as it is not the same combination, but abusing the bundle policy can lead to a ban; on ACX, he says, you can only use a single book file once in a bundle. With books A, B and C, possible KDP combinations could include A+B, A+C, A+B+C and so on, but not every combination. He claims bundles cost almost nothing to make because you only need a new cover: his best-selling book, he claims, is a bundle that cost him like $20 for covers, maybe $50-$60 total including launch, and makes him $1,500 a month consistently. For formatting in Word, he starts a new file with the bundle title page, then a copyright/disclaimer page, then the bundle table of contents, each separated by page breaks. He then uses Insert > Text from File to insert each single book in order, deleting each single book’s own copyright and table of contents, formatting chapter titles as headings, and optionally adding a divider title page between books. Finally he goes to References and inserts a custom table of contents for the whole bundle, which pulls in all the books’ chapter titles.

Key takeaways

• A bundle repackages existing single books into one new book, increasing book count with no new writing cost
• He says KDP allows reusing files in different combinations but warns abusing the policy can lead to a ban, while ACX allows only one use
• He claims his best-selling bundle cost about $20 for covers, $50-$60 total, and makes $1,500 a month consistently
• Formatting flow: bundle title page, disclaimer, bundle TOC, then Insert > Text from File for each single book
• Delete each single book’s copyright and TOC inside the bundle, format headings, then regenerate the bundle TOC via References
