If you’ve ever published low- or medium-content books on Amazon KDP, you know it’s a grind.
Finding profitable niches, creating covers, designing interiors—it can take forever.
That’s where Book Bolt has always helped.
It gave publishers a way to research niches, generate keywords, and create books without starting from scratch.
Now, Book Bolt 2.0 has arrived, and it’s a big leap forward. This isn’t just an update, it’s a full rebuild.
With faster research, smarter tools, and AI-powered design features, it turns a tool you use occasionally into a platform you can rely on to grow your KDP business seriously.
Here’s my experience and what I love about it.
1. A Fresh, Faster Experience
The first thing I noticed when logging in was the interface.
Book Bolt 2.0 looks clean and modern, and it feels lighter.
I no longer feel like I’m pushing a sluggish platform while juggling multiple projects.
Before, I often wasted minutes just finding where to click or waiting for data to load when checking niches.
Now, everything flows.
Pages load faster, navigation is clear, and moving from niche research to design feels almost effortless.
For me, saving this time has meant I can test more ideas each week.
Instead of spending half a day on research, I can find a promising niche, plan the book, and start designing—all in the same session.
Even if you’re just starting out, the layout is approachable.
For veterans like me, it offers the speed and flexibility we need for multiple projects.
2. Research Tools That Actually Work
I’ve always loved Book Bolt for niche research, but 2.0 takes it further with Movers and Shakers and Evergreens.
These tools let you see what’s hot right now and what will keep selling for months.
Movers and Shakers: Catch Trends Before Everyone Else
I remember last month noticing a sudden surge in self-care journals thanks to a trending TikTok challenge.
With Movers and Shakers, I could instantly see which books were climbing the charts, how fast they were selling, and which keywords were driving that growth.
It helped me quickly:
- Find a trending niche before the market becomes saturated.
- See which underpriced books were gaining traction.
- Identify the exact keywords that were driving sales.
Because of this, I launched a themed journal within days and started seeing sales almost immediately. Without Movers & Shakers, I would have discovered the trend too late.
Evergreens: Build Long-Term Revenue
While trends are great for quick wins, I’ve learned the importance of steady sellers. The Evergreens feature highlights books that consistently sell over time.
For example, I noticed planners and habit trackers always sell, no matter the season. Evergreens lets me analyze these consistently performing books, see what makes them successful, and apply those lessons to my own designs.
This combination—using Movers & Shakers for trends and Evergreens for stability—lets me balance short-term profits with long-term income.
I’ve now got a small portfolio of evergreen books that reliably bring in revenue month after month.
Advanced Search Tools
Book Bolt 2.0 also lets me filter results like never before. I can search by:
- Best Seller Rank to focus on high-performing books.
- Price to see what sells at different price points.
- Reviews to avoid saturated markets.
- Publish date to focus on new titles and emerging trends.
I use this daily. For instance, I recently filtered for journals under $10 with moderate competition. The results gave me multiple viable options for new books.
Before, I would have spent hours manually checking listings.
3. The AI Studio: Covers, Interiors, and Ideas All in One
The part that impressed me the most is the AI-powered studio.
The design tools are faster, more responsive, and now include AI features that handle both covers and interiors.
AI Image Generator: Professional Covers Without Stress
Covers are everything. In the past, I had to buy stock images, use Photoshop, or pay a designer.
The AI Image Generator changes all that. I can now:
- Generate line art for colouring books.
- Create anime or 3D illustrations for covers.
- Produce custom graphics that match the book’s niche.
Even if you have no design experience, the results look professional. I’ve been able to create niche-specific visuals in minutes that would have taken hours before.
AI Story Generator: Make Medium-Content Books Fast
For children’s books, guided journals, or short story collections, the AI Story Generator can draft entire manuscripts.
I’ve used it to:
- Create content in multiple languages.
- Keep characters and themes consistent across a series.
- Structure stories or lessons for kids’ books or educational content.
Combine that with the AI Image Generator, and I can take an idea from concept to finished, illustrated book entirely inside Book Bolt.
What used to require a team of writers and designers can now be done solo in a matter of days.
Why Book Bolt 2.0 Keeps Me Hooked
After using Book Bolt’s latest version for a few weeks, here’s what I appreciate the most:
- I can research, design, and publish everything in one place.
- Data-driven insights mean I’m less likely to waste time on books that won’t sell.
- AI tools save money and speed up production.
- I can scale my publishing workflow without losing quality.
For example, last month, I found a trending niche with Movers & Shakers, created the book using AI tools, and had it live on Amazon in just a couple of days.
Meanwhile, I used Evergreens research to create another set of journals that now sell reliably every month.
It’s like having both short-term wins and long-term income at the same time.
Who Should Use Book Bolt 2.0
Honestly, it works for almost any publisher:
- Beginners: You can get started without feeling overwhelmed.
- Intermediate publishers: You get powerful research, design options, and trend tracking.
- Experienced publishers: Save time, expand your product lines, and handle multiple books without switching tools.
Whether you’re testing a small niche, building a long-term portfolio, or publishing full-time, this platform has what you need.
How Much Does Book Bolt Cost?
Book Bolt offers two main paid subscription plans, which can be billed monthly or annually.
They also often provide a 3-day free trial. Here is a quick breakdown of the Book Bolt plans:
| Plan | Billed Monthly | Billed Annually | Key Features |
