Cookbook — four plates
A header, four recipe pages, a highlights block and the description. Food books sell on their photographs, so this pack is mostly pages.
5 of KDP's 5 allowed modules · 6 images from your book · Publisher and up
Every image below is a render of the layout itself, through the same pipeline that produces the submission files. Each image slot carries a label — "Front cover", "Page 3" — naming what your own book supplies there once you link it. Nothing on this page is a screenshot of a live listing.

1. Standard Image Header with Text
The header is the only module a shopper is guaranteed to see, so it carries the cover and the one sentence that says what the book is. KDP typesets the text over the image rather than baking it in, which is why the headline here is a field and not part of the artwork.

2. Standard Four Image & Text
Four images with a heading and a short line each — room to show four kinds of page without writing four paragraphs nobody reads.

4. Standard Product Description Text
Plain text, no image. The one module that can carry a long passage, and the one most often used to repeat the listing description word for word, which wastes it.
| Slot | Filled from | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Body text (text) | a section of the listing description — “About this book.” until you link a book | 6,000 characters · KDP says |
5. Standard Technical Specifications
A specification table with no image — the same facts as the specs-detail module, for a book whose pages do not photograph well.

Using this layout
In the Book Studio A+ Content Designer this pack is one click: it adds every module, fills each plate from the book you linked, writes the starting copy from the listing, and resolves the palette above into your own brand colours. To build it by hand in A+ Content Manager instead, the tables above give you every module name, slot size and character limit — and the free template maker will export each image at the exact pixels.
The full limits table for all seventeen modules is in the character-limits guide.
