Title: Anyone know how to unpublish a KDP paperback?
Post by: notthatamanda on October 25, 2019, 10:59:38 PM

I am working on an Ingram version of a book I created long ago in CreateSpace.  I got the account to transfer over but I can't see where you can unpublish the book. I am aware the book will show up forever, I just don't want anyone to be able to order it.

If it's now in your KDP account, go to the listing on the Bookshelf, hold your mouse over the ... next to Order Author Copies and it's the second option from the bottom on the dropdown that will appear.

Just as a heads up, once you unpublished the paperback keep it linked to the Kindle edition. When you publish the new Ingram edition the old paperback will show in the "See all X formats and editions" drop down list. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this will also suppress the old paperback product page. I've unpublished a KDP paperback and published a new Ingram edition and new KDP edition with same ISBN. This is how it seemed to work for me in regards to suppressing the older edition product page.
