Download the Kindle Previewer from Amazon. This is the only way to get the most current version of KindleGen.

Install 7Zip and add it's path to the Windows Path variable. The path should be C:\Program Files\7-Zip\ for the default install.

Download and install Kindle Previewer. This will install into your App Data directory. As mentioned in the KCC docs, the usual path would be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc\bin\ for a standard install. Replace <username> with your Windows username.

Create a directory ( I boringly called it KCC) on your desktop. Copy the downloaded the KCC executable and the kindlegen.exe into that directory.

If you have set the path to 7Zip correctly, KCC should come up and happy when you click on KCC<whatever>.exe.

i did everything as you mentioned and it went well, the only issue i have left is the 7 zip.

i installed it in C:\Program Files\7-Zip\ but still getting the add 7z to path message. what am i missing. thanks for you help
