How to track book sales across Amazon KDP, Apple Books, and Google Play

A step-by-step guide to seeing all your book sales and royalties in one place — across Amazon KDP, Apple Books, and Google Play — instead of reconciling three dashboards by hand.

Consolidated book sales and royalties from multiple stores shown on a single phone screen.

If you publish on Amazon KDP, Apple Books, and Google Play, your numbers are scattered across three separate dashboards — each with its own login, its own date ranges, and its own way of reporting royalties. Here’s how to bring them together so you can see your real catalog performance in one place.

The manual way (and why it breaks down)

The traditional approach is to check each store by hand:

  1. Open Amazon KDP Reports for units, KENP page reads, and estimated royalties.
  2. Log in to Apple Books for Authors / App Store Connect and export the sales report.
  3. Open the Google Play Books partner dashboard and pull its report.
  4. Drop everything into a spreadsheet and try to line up currencies, dates, and royalty rates.

This works when you have one book on one store. With a growing catalog across three stores, it eats your mornings, the numbers are always a few steps behind, and a single mismatched currency or date range quietly throws off your totals.

The consolidated way

A dedicated tracker connects to each store and merges the data for you, so instead of three reports you get one number you can trust. With TrackingInk, the flow is:

  1. Connect your stores. Link Amazon KDP, Apple Books, and Google Play.
  2. Let it sync. The sync runs from your device; your store credentials stay protected.
  3. Open one dashboard. Sales, royalties, KENP page reads, ratings, and reviews for every title — side by side, in real time, on your phone.

From there you can see which countries are buying, how Kindle Unlimited page reads stack up against paid sales, and how reviews are trending per book and per marketplace — plus an AI Analyst that explains what’s moving in plain language.

What to track once it’s all in one place

  • Net royalties, not just units — what you actually earn after each store’s cut.
  • KENP / pages read, so Kindle Unlimited income stops being a guess.
  • Ratings and reviews, as they land, per marketplace.
  • Country demand, so you know where your readers actually are.
  • Momentum — whether sales, royalties, and reads are trending up or down.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see Amazon, Apple, and Google book sales in one place? Yes. A consolidated tracker like TrackingInk connects to Amazon KDP, Apple Books, and Google Play and merges sales, royalties, KENP, and reviews into a single dashboard, so you don’t reconcile three reports by hand.

How do I track KDP royalties and KENP page reads together? TrackingInk pulls both estimated royalties and KENP/pages read from KDP into one view, alongside your Apple and Google numbers, and shows totals across stores.

Is my store login safe? TrackingInk’s sync runs from your device and keeps your store credentials protected — you’re not handing them to a third-party server to store.

Does this work on a phone? Yes — TrackingInk is a native iOS app (with Android coming), built so you can check your whole catalog in seconds.
