Install Amazon's Kindle Previewer (PC or Mac) if you want a better look at how your book will appear to most customers. |
Thank you -- that's very helpful. I didn't realize the downloaded mobi contained both formats. When I opened it with Kindle Previewer, it looked perfect.
But do I have any control over the mobi format that's included? That is, can I upload a combined azw3 and mobi, and not let kdp do the mobi conversion?
