Been having a heck of a time trying to find out how I can make the book open automatically in a two page spread. I've got a fixed layout epub for ibooks, and I've set it to automatically open so that you can see both pages of a landscape style picture book. Then you double click if you want to zoom in on a particular page.

When I did the conversion using KindlePreviewer it knocked that formatting out and made it single page again (and jacked up the images too, but I'm assuming that's just a sizing thing).

The other question I have: Is there a way to embed Read Aloud narration into the book in kindle format, like I have in the iPad version? I've got the highlighting and narration for every page as a separate sound file, but all I'm seeing is the ability to upload a whole book to Audible, and make people buy both ebook and audiobook, then their software syncs them up. No way to just embed it within the file like in epub?
