How to set a book free in KDP (Amazon self-publishing tips)
As my family self-isolates during the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been putting writing videos on YouTube, and today’s video points readers to this blog post so I can easily share the text of an email you can send to Amazon to suggest they price-match a book that is free on other retailers. You can watch the complete video here.

SUBJECT: ASIN ______ lower price on other retailers
Hello,
Please note that ASIN ___________ has a lower price (free) on other retailers. I understand that price matching happens at KDP’s discretion, however, as I cannot set this price to free myself, I thought I would inform you of this price discrepancy so we can provide an optimal customer service experience.
The price is 0.00 (free) WORLD WIDE, on Kobo, Google Play and Apple Books.
