The maximum depends on ink and paper: 828 pages (black ink on white), 776 (black ink on cream), 600 (standard colour) or 828 (premium colour). Hardcovers run 75–550 pages. Smaller trim sizes cap lower, so always check KDP's table for your exact size. An even page count is recommended but not required.</p>
