Also they need to create the PDF themselves and preview on AT LEAST a full HD screen in Side by side true book mode.

They usually need to learn actual Wordprocessing skills, like styles. They need a different format with the ebook copy and pasted a chapter at a time and the images deleted and replaced. Then create the PDF.

Kindle Create is only creating the illusion that you don't need to learn anything. You DO need to learn some stuff about wordprocessing, or Layout, and ebooks and paper typesetting.
Otherwise better to pay someone, like in the old days.
AMEN BROTHER!

I try to see if I can't show someone in our shop, at least ONE lousy thing that they didn't know when they arrived. Just ONE.

A little learning can go a long way.
