How do I get illustrated bookdeisgner file on kindle?

Sydney's Mom · 01-25-2009, 05:15 PM

I created a book in Bookdesigner, and inserted pictures. When I tried to convert it to prc, all the pictures disappeared. So I did it again. I keep trying different settings, and they still disappear everytime I save it. What can I do to get this perfectly formatted book on my kindle? Thanks for your help. Debra

I tried that. I followed the tutorial, have gotten the pictures in the html, but when I create a palm book, the pitures disappear. Can anyone help me? Debra

Are you trying to create a book in "PalmDoc" format? That format doesn't support pictures.

Please see my tutorial here for detailed instructions on how to create a MobiPocket book starting with Book Designer.
