Updated Kindle Publishing Guidelines
Version 2018.3 of the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines is now available.
Testing books by side-loading them to a Kindle device/app is no longer described. It appears that they now feel that using their Kindle Previewer is sufficient even though it does not reflect how books will be displayed on older devices that do not support Enhanced Typesetting. Kindle Create replaces Kindle Textbook Creator. It performs the same function and more. -------- Listed changes are: Quote:

They'll be prying those devices from my cold dead hands, and lemme tell ya, it's a freaking nightmare to explain to clients over and over that "oh, well, Previewer is broken, so you'll have to trust me," and worse, having to sideload all of them, take screenshots, drag them someplace convenient, send 'em to the client...ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!! I mean, if I were only doing 1-2 books a week, not a big deal, but...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Hitch |

But they load and work seemingly perfectly in my PW3. No one has told me they don't work in a real Voyage, so, since this is something I only need to do these a few times a year and can't buy every Kindle made to test them, I just upload them anyway and they have been accepted. |
