As in registering the book for ISBN, for example.
Thanks.

Hi, Melissa! Excellent question! I do remember Amazon having a period in which they kicked books back if the title wasn’t the same as on the cover – I even had that happen to me! But the rules appear to have been changed since then, and the subtitle is specifically described as if its metadata, with a 200 character limit.

I thought that adding subtitles like: (psychological thrilling romance trope) as a subtitle to KDP book that IS NOT ON THE BOOK COVER goes against their rules and is considered ‘Misleading’.

If caught, authors get penalised. Is it worth the risk? Or has the rules changed?

I’d appreciate the clarification on this before I add new subtitles to my stories.
