Amazon offers authors and publishers (as well as other sellers on their products) the ability to add additional content (mostly graphics) to a book’s Kindle page. This is something fairly new. Within the past couple of years, I think (but time is still somewhat foggy for me due to pandemic stuff).
To see this additional content on a desktop, a visitor to a book page must scroll down past the cover and description and then past the Products Related to This Item section. On a mobile device, this content is above the book’s blurb/description.
If this additional content has been added, it will be under the heading From the Publisher.
I spent some time recently creating and adding content to three of my books’ Kindle pages. Here are some thumbnails from those books (click the book title under the thumbnail to visit the book’s Kindle page and see it on the actual page):
So here are a few questions for you: Does content like this help you make the decision to buy a book? Do you bother to scroll down to see additional book information below book cover and description? Did you even know it was there on many books?

Yes I do scroll down to view additional info. And it helps me decide on purchasing.
I do the same.
I like it but I don’t think I have seen that before. I do stroll down and most of the time read a few reviews, especially if I’m not familiar with the author.

Yes, I do scroll down to read about the contents of the book. It Is very helpful in deciding if I should purchase this book.
I did not know it was there and probably won’t read it!
