keyword_boxes
Packs keyword phrases (most important first) into KDP's 7 keyword boxes of 50 characters each. Removes words already in the title/subtitle, drops prohibited, trademarked and likely author/title phrases, and reports what did not fit.
bsr_to_sales
Turns an Amazon Best Sellers Rank (the 'Best Sellers Rank' line on a book's Amazon page, overall store rank) into an estimated range of units per day and per month, using two independent public models. Amazon.com (Kindle Store or print); UK/DE are rough scalings. Optionally multiplies by royalty per sale.
check_listing
Checks a book's title, subtitle, description, keyword boxes and categories against Amazon KDP's published metadata guidelines (length limits, allowed HTML, prohibited claims, other authors/titles/trademarks, programme names, contact details, review requests, emojis) and gives optimisation tips. Each issue links to the KDP help page it comes from.
