Hi everyone,

I'm an indie developer and author, and over the last few years I've built tools for the self-publishing community. Some of you may have come across KDPStudio.net, which I created to help authors format manuscripts, create covers, and simplify publishing.

Over the past few months, I've also built another platform called BookNami.net, and it's now in beta.

Before I spend more time adding new features, I'd really like to hear what actual authors and readers think.

One thing I want to make clear is that BookNami is not trying to compete with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books, or any other retailer. Those platforms are where people buy books, and that's not what I'm trying to replace.

Instead, BookNami focuses on organic discovery. The goal is to give authors another opportunity to be found online through SEO while giving readers an easier way to discover books they'll enjoy.

The platform includes:

SEO-optimized author pages

SEO-optimized book pages

Publisher pages

Series pages

Genre, topic, and theme pages

Reader bookshelves

Follow your favorite authors

Author updates

Personalized recommendations

An ARC (Advance Review Copy) Marketplace, where authors can find readers willing to review their books and readers can apply for review copies.

Direct links to retailers where books are sold

Everything is already built and working. At this point, I'm not looking to sell anything—I honestly want feedback from people who read and write books.

If you have a few minutes, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look and tell me what you honestly think.

Is the concept useful?

Is there anything that immediately confuses you?

Would you use it as an author or a reader?

What's missing?

What would make you come back instead of visiting just once?

I genuinely appreciate honest feedback—good or bad. If something doesn't make sense or could be improved, I'd much rather hear it now than after launch.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.

I started looking into Amazon KDP as a side hustle and realized that a lot of people are making money offering publishing services instead of relying only on book sales.

Services like:

• Book Creation

• Kindle eBook Formatting

• Book Cover Design

• Low Content Books

• Journals & Notebooks

• Children's Books

• KDP Publishing Assistance

Many freelancers charge $100-$500+ per project for these services.

The problem is that most tools only handle one part of the process.

That's why I built KDP Studio.

It lets you create books, eBooks, outlines, covers, and KDP-ready files from one platform.

Features include:

✅ AI Book Creation

✅ Kindle eBooks

✅ Paperback Books

✅ Cover Creation & Resizing

✅ KDP Formatting

✅ Multiple Book Sizes

✅ Training Videos

✅ Beginner-Friendly Setup

You can use it to publish your own books or offer services on Fiverr, Upwork, Facebook, Instagram, eBay, or your own website.

One-time payment. No monthly fees.
