Problem previewing on Kindle iOS app

phrncis · 06-08-2018, 06:25 AM

Hello everyone, just a technical question for anyone who have experience similar problem of previewing a mobi file on a Kindle iOS app on an iPad (where the pages turned up blank), while at the same time it previews with NO problems on the Kindle Previewer 3 (online and app)?

I've tried sending the mobi file via sendtokindle as well, and the same 'blank page' problem persists on the iPad.

The mobi file is created on the Kindle Kid's Book Creator with a PDF file.

Can someone shed some light on this, thank a mil.

You need to use azk format instead of mobi to test books using the Kindle for iOS app. To create this use Amazon's Kindle Previewer. First import your book, then export and select azk as the format in the file save dialog. You can sideload the azk file to the Kindle app using iTunes.
