BUILT TO SAVE YOU TIME
Stop Clicking Through KDP Categories. Start Finding Relevant Paths Faster.
Category selection can become a frustrating final hurdle when all you want to do is publish. Search the captured UK KDP database, highlight matching terms, inspect complete category paths and build your shortlist before returning to KDP for final confirmation.
Less clicking. Less guesswork. A much clearer way to finish your KDP setup.
Find Relevant Terms Faster
Type a word or phrase into the yellow search box and matching cells stand out immediately, with a match count and first full-path preview to help you start investigating faster.
Research eBook & Paperback Properly
Avoid assuming that one format mirrors the other. Research eBook and Paperback selectors separately so you can see what is actually available in each.
See the Full Path Before You Choose
See the complete route through KDP, not just the final category word, so you can judge whether the placement genuinely fits your book.
Know What Is Actually Selectable
Quickly distinguish navigation steps from genuine selectable checkbox placements captured in KDP, so you spend less time chasing the wrong rows.
Compare Formats Without Starting Again
Use the conservative comparison tab to review strong eBook-to-Paperback relationships without forcing weak matches or manually rebuilding your research from scratch.
Help Is There When You Need It
The complete Product User Guide explains every tab, the search system, worked examples, terminology and limitations, so you are not left figuring the workbook out on your own.

Built to make research easier, not to make ranking promises.
The workbook does not claim to measure sales, search volume, Best Seller Rank, competition or customer demand. Child Count and Placement Count describe the structure of the captured KDP selectors, not category popularity. Its purpose is to help you understand, search and research the category choices displayed in the captured UK selectors.
How much is your publishing time worth?
You can click through KDP category branches every time you publish, repeat the process for Paperback, try different search terms, backtrack through menus and keep your own notes as you go. Or you can keep one organised UK category research workbook on your computer and return to it whenever your next book is ready.
One workbook. Both publishing formats. Thousands of selectable placements. Searchable whenever you need it.
A QUICK LOOK AT THE COMPLETE PACKAGE

Questions before you decide?
Is this copied from Amazon retail browse pages?
No. The database was compiled from the signed-in Amazon.co.uk KDP category selectors captured on 11 September 2026.
Does it include both eBook and Paperback categories?
Yes. eBook and Paperback data are kept in separate research tabs because the two selectors are not identical.
Do I need to enable Excel macros?
No. The Search & Highlight system uses standard Excel formulas and conditional formatting, and the workbook remains a normal .xlsx file.
Will these categories stay the same forever?
No. Amazon can change its KDP category selectors at any time. The workbook is a verified snapshot dated 11 September 2026, so final category choices should always be confirmed inside your live KDP account.
Is this an official Amazon product?
No. It is an independently compiled Melweb Marketing research product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon.
What do I receive after purchase?
You receive the protected Amazon KDP USA LIVE Category Master Excel workbook together with the complete Product User Guide PDF.
Can I edit the workbook?
The workbook is protected to prevent accidental changes to the category data, formulas and layout. The intended search and input areas remain available for normal use.
