Hi Doitsu,

Thanks very much for your reply and suggestions.

I followed your instructions but still no luck.
I made sure I had the latest version of Kindle for iPad, I created AZK file with Previewer, synced in iTunes to Kindle, but it does not show up in Kindle app on iPad.

The file I originally created with Kindle Kids Book Creator, which was a breeze to use, is the one now in the Kindle Store, available for all Kindle devices and apps except Apple apps.
I've also asked relatives and friends who have Kindle for iPad to try to buy the book, they have also not been able to buy the book.

Amazon's documentation is contradictory on the availability of KF8 files for devices. Sometimes it states it's available for all devices and apps, in other cases it says they are rolling out availability in the next few months.
But as the documentation is not dated, I have no idea when the "next few months" might be?

I am very close to achieving my goal of publishing the book in KF8, just need the Apple apps to work and I'm there.
But I do not know how to do that, and Amazon has not been able to tell me.

Meanwhile, I guess I can publish the book in another format, doc to epub to mobi, and upload that version until KF8 is universally available.

I have another eight kid's picture books to publish on Kindle, so it would be great to find a solution.

Thanks again,
Peter
