You can download KF8 sample files from the
Amazon KF8 page.

IMHO, this recommendation makes perfect sense for
reflowable Kindle books.

I looked at the Kindle Publishing Guidelines and didn't find recommendations to that effect. AFAIK you
can add an index as long as you don't use page number references.

AFAIK, KDP support can only add Real Page Numbers support if the original epub contains page number targets and a page list or a page map.

I'm sorry, I just bloody disagree. Not with your take on it--you are correct there in assessing "if you must have X, then you really have to use Y." It's just...we do a LOT of fixed-layout, compared to the average bear. It's fine for many books. It is, in my opinion, not fine for text-heavy books. To me, it's just not very usable or user-friendly. |
No argument from my side! I have merely mentioned Kindle Print Replica books for the sake of completeness.
