If you enroll your book in KDP Select, you're eligible for the KDP Select All-Star Bonus. In addition to paying royalties from the KDP Select Global Fund, each month we award All-Star bonuses to books and authors that are read the most in Kindle Unlimited (KU) and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KOLL). All-Star recipients are also eligible for All-Star badges on their book detail pages. Anyone with titles in KDP Select—even a brand-new author—is eligible.

We'll award All-Star bonuses to authors and titles that provide our customers with the best reading experience based on how much they're read in KU and KOLL. We notify the award winners via email.

Illustrated Kids' Book Bonus

The top 100 most read illustrated kids' books in the U.S. and the top 25 in the U.K. will receive Illustrated Kids' Book bonuses. Kids' Book bonuses will be awarded based on total KU and KOLL pages read for the first time by KU and KOLL customers during the month. We'll notify the awarded authors via email.

To participate, illustrated kids' books must be classified as "Children's Books" in the Kindle Store, be intended for young children learning to read, and have illustrations integral to the book's storyline.

Important: To make sure your books are eligible for All-Star bonuses, you must claim them on Author Central.
