New Kindle Previewer? V3.20
https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...cId=1000765261
Has check for Enhanced Typography support - but cannot tell you why it does not validate for that. |

Is it possible to download and use 3.x while still maintaining 2.x on my computer?

Some of the messages it produces refer to a Formatting Guide for Enhanced Typesetting. Perhaps they will make those messages visible once that guide becomes available. Yes. I did this. Kindle Previewer 3 installs to a different location than the old Previewer. |

Is it possible to make Kindle Previewer 3.20 not indexing each time a book is opened with it?
How? TIA |

Does Kindle Previewer 3 still output a dual .mobi with KF8/mobi?

Took KP3.21 for a spin tonight, seems nice! It does indeed install to its own folder, so you can have both versions available.
I like the ability to view several pages at once. It seemed to have no trouble opening or exporting/converting my latest epub effort and it has a green check for Enhanced Typesetting enabled. Now to load the .mobi on my Voyage, see if it behaves like it shows in Previewer. I really like that I can choose WHERE to export the conversion to, my C: drive is a bit crammed, nice to have the option to send books to my D: drive where all my book project stuff resides anyway. Thumbs up so far, Amazon! |

I have since uninstalled my older version of Kindle Previewer. Being a bit space challenged on my C: drive, I've found no further need to have the older version available.
However, I still don't feel it is a substitute for seeing the book on an actual Kindle device. That bit hasn't really changed. I've noticed that my SVG title pages look better on my Voyage than they ever do in Kindle Previewer. The vertical centering seems slightly off in KP as opposed to on the device itself.
