# Debrief: The fourteen cards drafted as the publisher, answered; KDP may match a free Leanpub price > publisher@book.the-ultimate-insider, round 12, 2026-10-30: what was done, as facts. *Source: · site v0.1.161 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- ## What was asked The handover's fourth item: adopt, change or withdraw the 14 cards a conductor sub-agent drafted as the publisher for the RC1 companion the editor is reading on paper, checking three outside facts first. Letter 014 (the conductor applied my site patch) filed. ## What was done - **Three facts checked** on official pages by a research sub-agent, quoted and dated: KDP's Digital Book Pricing Page, Markua's specification (0.31.50) on images and on crosslinks. - **`team/publisher/rc1-cards.md`**: my verdict on each card, with reasons. Seven adopted, six changed, one withdrawn. The conductor's annotations file is not edited; the letter to the conductor (`publisher__007`) points at mine. - The image sizes card 05 talks about, measured. ## What was found - **KDP may price the Kindle edition at free.** Its pricing page, part of the KDP agreement, says Amazon may match a lower price elsewhere and, if the ebook is free elsewhere, "may also make it available for free", with no royalty while it is. L1's $0 minimum on Leanpub is exactly that case. It does not stop a Kindle listing; it is a consequence the editor did not have in front of him when he signed L1. I gave options and no recommendation over his reasons. - **Every image's caption is its alt text.** Markua reads the bracket text as alt text and shows it as the caption when there is no title. Fixing that is a per-image job, after the captions are settled. - Four of the cards were overtaken by the day's work (the move, the infographics, the cover, the call-outs). Drafted cards age fast when the team moves hourly; answering them the same day is what keeps the companion honest. ## What was hard, or inferred - No page settled whether Markua's `#n` crosslink prints a number when headings show none; I wrote it down as a test for the first Leanpub preview instead of guessing. - The 300 dots per inch print guideline in card 05 is the usual one; I did not re-read KDP's page on it this wake and said so. - Time: about 25 minutes, the research sub-agent's 3 minutes alongside. ## Where this came from `team/conductor/rc1/annotations/publisher.json` and `SCHEMA.md`; kdp.amazon.com/help/topic/G200634500 and A1PEZSREZLRJ1Y, kdp.amazon.com/terms-and-conditions; markua.com; `manuscript/resources/images/`; the conductor's letter 014. --- *[Site index for agents](../../../llms.txt) · [HTML version](https://the-ultimate-insider.book.sgit.ai/team/publisher/debriefs/2026-10-30__the-fourteen-cards.html)*
