You know it will only work on Apps and the Fire Tablet? It won't be a real ebook or sensibly readable on any eInk based ereader.
If it needs to be a fixed layout leave it as a PDF. It was INVENTED as Print Replica, as it's intended for proofing paper, giving true WYSIWYG and a source to publish/print on paper. The Amazon and ePub3 fixed layouts are pointless as they will not work on anything that doesn't support PDFs anyway. |

Welcome.

For Amazon you can upload a PDF and they will convert it to the appropriate Kindle format. As Quoth mentioned, print replica books are only available on a subset of Kindle devices and apps. A reflowable format is preferred when possible. Quote:
That is normally larger than the original format because it includes extra data, but 20 times larger (80MB) seems extreme! Could you provide more information on how you did that. |

Any particular reason not to just read it using a PDF viewer? Seems a lot easier.

Or even some other iPad app. If I wanted to read a PDF, honestly, going the Kindle route, for fixed-layout, would be my last resort. (And crap, I do this for a living!) Hitch |

However, if you are really set on using that app you can email to PDF to Amazon and they will deliver it to that app. Check the Manage Your Content and Devices page on amazon.com to find the email address associated with the Kindle for iPad app. There will be some limitations, for example internal links between pages will not function and you will not be able to annotate text. |

Use a PDF capable reader on the iPad.
I even bought a 10" Android tablet really to purely read pdfs. I'd never waste time trying to convert PDFs to anything other than paper. |
