Rejected. 01: your book is 6 × 9. Your PDF isn't.

In the US, Word starts every document at 8.5 × 11 in (elsewhere, A4). Export a book from it and that page size comes along.

Your PDF's page size should be exactly:
→ 6.00 × 9.00 in without bleed
→ 6.125 × 9.25 in with bleed

Nine reasons a paperback interior fails at KDP, and how to check each one before you upload. None of them show when you open the PDF.

01 A page size that isn't your trim
02 Bleed declared but not drawn, or the reverse
03 A gutter below the minimum for your length

Title card on a dark background: Nine reasons a paperback interior fails at KDP. None of them show when you open the PDF. A large green numeral 9.

01, The page size isn't the trim you selected. The commonest case is a 6 by 9 book with a US Letter interior, because in the US, Word starts every document at 8.5 by 11. How to check: the page size in your PDF's document properties must equal your trim.

02, Bleed declared but not drawn, or drawn but not declared. Bleed adds 0.125 inch to the top, bottom and outside edges, never the spine. How to check: your page is exactly your trim, or exactly 0.125 inch wider and 0.25 inch taller.

03, A gutter below the minimum for your length. The minimum inside margin is 0.375 inch up to 150 pages and rises to 0.875 inch for the longest books. How to check: use your final page count.

KDP didn't reject this file. That was the problem.

We uploaded a 160 × 235 mm interior with 6 × 9 in selected. No warning at upload, in processing or in the previewer. The pages were scaled to fit.

A rejection tells you something is wrong. A silent fit doesn't.
