Publishing with Amazon.

Kingell · 03-23-2015, 02:08 PM

Hello I'm a newbie.

I've written an EBook using Serif PagePlus and output as an EPUB.
I've downloaded Calibre (made a donation) and checked the book also making a copy as a MOBI.
I bought a book which uses word and doesn't really cover what I need to publish with Amazon.
Please can anyone advise?

Many thanks

Kind regards

Welcome to the club, Kingell.

You will probably want to convert your books using Amazon's official tool, kindlegen -- or the graphical version, Kindle Previewer. Otherwise, Amazon *might* not accept your books (or they will only accept the old MOBI, which means your readers cannot get the new AZW3 format).

Beyond that, do you have any specific questions?
