Here's the direct link to the
Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines in PDF format:
http://kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/Am...Guidelines.pdf. That is version 1.8 of the
Publishing Guidelines. There is a newer 1.9 version, which I downloaded myself within the last month, but now I can't find a link to it.
The information on the
"Help" page is important to read, but the
Publishing Guidelines do give some additional (more technical) information.
