Why the KENP rate changes every month

Amazon pools a monthly KDP Select Global Fund and divides it by the total pages read by Kindle Unlimited subscribers. That's why the per-page rate moves every month — the fund was $67.0 million in June 2026.

Your payout is simply: pages read × that month's rate. A 300-page book at the current ~$0.0048 rate earns about $1.44 per full read, and 100 readers a month adds up to roughly $144/month.
