If you have many active listings that haven’t sold in the last year, Amazon charges a monthly fee of $.005 per listing to cover its cataloging costs.
How many books do you publish on Amazon?
Due to the mass influx of low content and ai content books, Amazon recently (about 3 weeks ago) changed their ToS. There originally was no limit on how many books you could upload. Now in 2023, the limit is 10 books per day. I can't imagine publishing 10 books a day. I write long short stories and short novellas mostly, so I have more books uploaded then a novel writer does. I started uploading to Amazon in 2010 and right now in 2023 I have 423 books live, each available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover. A few are novels. The shortest is exactly 1k words long, the longest is exactly 230k words long, but around 75% of them are 15k to 35k words long, with the bulk being around 20k words each. (In 9x6 paperback edition my 20k word books are exactly 40 pages long). I publish on average 1 book every 10 days, but I also had a multi year hiatus while in the hospital, and I take of November and December every year. I have had weeks of publishing 3 books each week, which meant about 15 or 20 books in a single moth, but that only happened a couple of times and each of those were 10k word shorts. Usually I'm putting up around 4 or 5 new titles a month, and this has never been an issue. I have never produced a low content book, however, so I don't know if perhaps the rules are different for them then they are for short stories and novellas? More on reddit.com

How many books on Amazon aren't selling
July 29, 2024 - We usually hear there are something like 40 million books on Amazon (ebooks plus print). What's surprising is how few books one needs to sell (at least in a short time) to get from no rank ("rank 40 million") to something decent. Of course there are thousands of planners/journals etc.

r/selfpublish on Reddit: How many books do you publish on Amazon?
February 26, 2023 -
Hello, I am totally new to Amazon, I just uploaded my children notebook, it's a low content book of course, and 110 pages, black and white, but I was wondering, since I am a graphic designer, it's a bit easy to make them, can I publish a lot of these books let's say 5 or 10 books per month? Or will Amazon think I am uploading low quality books?

The real question is : what is the niche ? If there is already thousands and thousand of books inside, you could produce the best of the low content books, it will be difficult to sell. But if you find a niche with low offer and high demand, even a bad quality low content book would sell... and you could easily beat this one with only one high quality low content book.

Amazon restricts authors from self-publishing more than three books a day after AI concerns | Books | The Guardian
September 22, 2023 - Amazon has created a new rule limiting the number of books that authors can self-publish on its site to three a day, after an influx of suspected AI-generated material was listed for sale in recent months. The company announced the new limitations in a post on its Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) forum on Monday. “While we have not seen a spike in our publishing numbers, in order to help protect against abuse, we are lowering the volume limits we have in place on new title creations,” read the statement.
