mobi created in Kindle Kids' Book Creator won't display on iPad

exaltedwombat · 01-28-2019, 08:52 PM

I've prepared a picture book using Kindle Kids' Creator. It looks fine in Kindle Previewer on my PC

The customer has loaded it into the Kindle Reader app on his iPhone and complains that only the cover displays. All other pages are blank.

I can confirm this with the Kindle Reader app on an iPad.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Children’s books on kindle use fixed layout KF8 (azw3) format. That format is not supported in the Kindle for iOS app. You instead need to create an AZK file using the Kindle Previewer and sideload that to the iOS app.

For books sold on Amazon the AZK format is automatically created and delivered to the iOS app,
