How many reviews do I need before running Amazon ads?
I've heard everything from 10 to 50. My novel has 6 reviews so far — is it worth starting ads now or should I wait?

There is no magic number — ads work from day one if your page converts. What actually matters: your blurb, your cover, and price. That said, under ~10 reviews your click costs buy less trust, so many authors wait until 10–15. With 6, I would run a small test budget ($5/day) on exact-match keywords and watch the read-through rather than waiting.

My paperback and ebook aren't linked on the same Amazon page — how do I fix it?
Published the ebook and paperback through KDP but they're showing as two separate listings instead of being linked under one product page with the format options. How do I get them merged?

This part confuses me most. KDP only lets me pick a few categories and seven keyword slots. How do I choose them so the right readers actually stumble onto my book instead of it vanishing?
