Kindle Vella Update FAQ

Nobody knew about it.

Today. Panzer made a trip to the KDP site. With no digging at all in the posts there our adventuresome kitty discovered news about Kindle Vella.

 

According to a post there, Amazon is closing the Vella platform in February 2025. The post explains how the shut down will work and what to do if you still have a series you're working on for Vella.

Panzer says, "Vella didn't seem to get the attention of readers."

 

Note: This is a long post. You'll need to decide what you want to snack on while you read.
