Legal metadata provides information about the creator, copyright holder, and public licensing if provided.

Simply put, Amazon uses categories and keywords that you use when publishing your books, so they can be found by readers, libraries, etc.

It is therefore of utmost importance that you choose the correct keywords and categories when publishing your book
