Why isn't it there? So all I can do is try and find a successful way to do it for myself which is what I've done over the years. And if people think that my info is taking a bit of liberty and a load of bunk then that's fair enough. My only intention is to pass on some useful information to other authors/formatters that is not in the Kindle Guidelines. But really, the best person for you to ask whether the Kindle Guidelines is up to date and accurate is Hitch. She has also, on occasion, expressed some considerable frustration with info holes and lack of guideline updates in the KDP forum. So best to ask Hitch because she's the real expert in this area.

When it comes to the LITB, our internal rule is, make sure the damn thing looks good in Georgia font, and in KF7. That's the "rule." It ain't fancy, but mostly, it works.
I wish I had better, higher insight that I was willing to share, but that's about it. In my experience in dealing with Amazon, on the LITB, quite bluntly, they're guessing, too, typically.
