Overview

BoundHive is a web workspace for preparing Kindle, paperback and hardcover books for Amazon KDP. An author defines the book and its reader, and the tool checks whether the brief is specific enough to draft before generating an outline and manuscript sections that stay editable.

Manuscript text, images, metadata, validation findings and exports remain connected in one private project as the book changes. A validation step reports what is ready and what still needs the author’s judgment, and the export is a package of supported manuscript files, metadata, assets and a KDP upload checklist.

Each generation task shows its credit cost before it starts, and editing, saving, uploading your own images and exporting use no credits. Plus costs $49 a month for 1,000 credits and Double Plus costs $98 a month for 2,500 credits, both plus applicable taxes.
