INDIE BOOK ATLAS
Help Center
Quick answers and first steps for using Indie Book Atlas.
Getting started
Where do I start without a book topic?
Open Niche discovery, choose the available filters and review candidates. Automated candidate discovery currently works for Amazon US in English. Investigate your chosen topic with Full niche analysis next.
Open toolHow do keyword research and niche analysis differ?
Keyword research helps you find and compare book search phrases. Full niche analysis adds competitors, economics, advertising metrics, a summary and AI insights where data is available. Analyze niche continues the research; access to advanced sections depends on your account permissions.
Open toolHow do I choose an Amazon marketplace?
Before starting, choose US, CA, UK, DE, FR, IT or ES and enter a phrase in your target reader’s language. Check the report marketplace and currency. Interface language does not automatically change the marketplace; coverage depends on topic and market.
Open toolReports and data
Where can I find previous reports?
Sign in to the same account and open Report history or the relevant workspace project. Select the phrase, marketplace and date. Opening a saved result is different from starting a new analysis.
Open toolMy report is still processing. What should I do?
Wait for the analysis indicator to finish: sections can appear gradually. Avoid repeatedly starting the same research. If progress remains unchanged for a long time or an error appears, open the saved report from history and send support the details. An interim result is not final.
Why are CPC, sales or AI insights missing?
Not every phrase or book has every metric. CPC is an estimated cost per click, not a guaranteed advertising price. Sales are estimates rather than competitors’ actual orders. A missing value does not mean zero. AI insights require sufficient prepared data; contact support if data collection has finished but the AI report does not appear.
What does BSR mean?
Best Sellers Rank is Amazon’s sales ranking. A lower number means a higher position within a particular ranking. Compare matching marketplaces, categories and book formats. BSR changes and does not by itself reveal exact sales or profit.
How do I download a report and change its language?
Choose Ukrainian, English or Russian in the service language selector, wait for the relevant report to be prepared and use its download button. Table reports export to XLSX; filenames are in English for all languages. Original book titles, keywords and review texts may remain in their source language. AI reports may need time to translate.
Other tools
How do I monitor books and niches?
Save a book or niche to monitoring, then run a recheck later and compare it with the previous snapshot. Rechecks are currently started by the user. Amazon changes may not appear immediately; compare snapshot dates and data completeness.
Open toolWhy are there ratings but no written reviews?
A star rating does not always include text. Written review availability can differ by marketplace and edition. Text hidden by Amazon is not guaranteed to be accessible. An empty result means texts were not retrieved, not that the book has no critical reviews. Check the ASIN, marketplace and star filter.
Open toolWhich tools are free?
Print, eBook, Kindle Unlimited and advertising profitability calculators are available without sign-up. The Chrome / Edge extension is also free and available in Chrome Web Store; its page provides a store installation link and instructions. Saving and advanced service analyses require sign-in and the relevant access.
Open toolHow do I get access and find pricing?
Payments are being prepared; final pricing and allowances will be published before sales begin. Analysis access currently depends on your account settings. Contact support if you encounter a restriction. Do not send card details in chat or email.
Open toolNeed a hand?
Include the tool, marketplace, phrase or ASIN, analysis date and what went wrong. A screenshot without private details helps. Do not send passwords or payment details.
