3. Royalty Disputes: Understanding Amazon's royalty structure can be complex. Some authors may find discrepancies in reported sales and the royalties they receive.
   
4. KDP Listing Errors: Authors can face issues with book listings such as the wrong category, incorrect metadata, or issues with the book's preview. These errors can affect visibility and sales.
