KDP cover match checker

TL;DR

The single most common silent KDP rejection is the cover text not matching the metadata verbatim — punctuation, capitalization, subtitle presence, middle initials. Upload your cover, enter the fields exactly as you'll type them on KDP, and get the comparison KDP's review will run — before it runs it.

Runs the same comparison KDP's review does: the text printed on your cover against your planned Details-page fields, character by character. Free, no account.

Why this check matters

“The Complete Guide to Sourdough” on the cover with “The Complete Guide To Sourdough: Bake Better Bread at Home” in the metadata is a rejection — and it looks perfectly fine to a human, because both versions are “right.” KDP's automated review compares them verbatim: same punctuation, same subtitle (present on both or absent from both), same middle initial. When it fails, the book silently drops from “In Review” back to “Draft” with a vague category at best. Full story: the silent-failure checklist.

ebookdone typesets your exact title, subtitle, and author name into the cover art and the KDP metadata from one source — nothing to drift, nothing to re-check. A complete KDP-ready book from $9, no subscription.
