If you do not already have 7Zip installed, download it from the 7Zip home page. I would recommend the .exe installer.

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.

Hello,
I don't understand what to do with adding the 7z path to the windows variables, I think that's the only thing that fails me.
can you explain it better please?

.

The latest version of KCC should automatically use Kindle Previewer kindlegen.exe if installed on the default path -- no need to copy anymore.

Sadly, when I tried it, KCC complained about kindlegen.exe until I copied it to the KCC directory. I'm using a new computer with a week old install of Kindle Previewer.

Sheeshh... is doing a Google or other search a lost art?

1. Right click on the Windows icon in the Taskbar and then click on System
2. Type path in the Find a setting box and click on the magnifying glass icon.
3. Click on the Edit the system environment variables option.
4. Click on the Environment Variables button.
5. Click on the Path variable under System variables
6. Click on New button
7. Enter C:\Program Files\7-Zip\ in the text box
8. Click on OK and close the various open windows.
9. That's all, folks!

Here's a YouTube video for Windows 8 but the basics are the same.
