What you are probably seeing

You scroll through KDP categories and see thousands of competing titles, but you cannot tell which niches have strong buyer demand relative to the supply. You look at your own past sales or research and notice that guessing the market saturation leads to hours of work with no return.

You want to pick a sub-niche that is not overcrowded, yet you lack a quick, free way to compare sales volume against the number of competing books in that specific section.

Why it happens

Amazon KDP does not publish official, free niche reports with sales and difficulty scores, so many beginners assume such data exists in one convenient place. Third-party tools often charge for these insights, leaving a gap for those who want free alternatives.

Free data is fragmented across public sources; you must piece together information from KDP browse nodes, book details pages, and independent free resources that estimate competition, rather than finding a single branded report.

What changed recently

Step by step

1. Browse specific KDP sub-genre nodes and manually note the number of books and their best-seller ranks to estimate competition intensity. Use a free keyword tool or Amazon search bar to check search volume and keyword density for your chosen topic. Review the ‘Also Published In’ and related titles sections to gauge how saturated the niche is. Cross-reference free blog posts or YouTube videos that analyze KDP niches for current sales trends. Save your findings in a simple spreadsheet to track monthly sales estimates versus competition levels for comparison.
