Quick Answers
What tools do you need?

Full write-up & sources
More detail: The post does not name the AI tools, how many books there are, or the price.
Results: The linked screenshot is a KDP dashboard showing "This month" estimated royalties of $1,279.38, 345 orders and 6,456 Kindle Edition Normalized Pages (KENP, the page reads Amazon pays Kindle Unlimited royalties on); we have it. Several commenters pushed back on AI-made books.
Worth knowing: KDP now caps new titles at 2 per format per week and requires you to disclose AI-generated text, so a catalog built this way takes weeks, not a weekend. Check quality: AI can get technical details wrong.
