How Do I Download Kindle Create

For the covers of your B&N ebooks, the art document (JPG) needs to be 1400 x 1400 pixels. You may have to crop up your cover to the right size. I used a simple program like paint. I also used Canva to create my original covers, so making a copy of them and moving the title for the smaller B&N Press cover was easy.
If you want to link to other works (Amazon listings only), your website, blog, social media or Amazon Author Page, create the links in the Word document. (All the hyperlinks I created in the Word doc worked just fine in the KC program.)
I use the kindle plugin for MS Word and Kindle Create from Amazon. I have several images in my book, which I want to always take up a full page with maximum size (margins are okay), independent of the chosen font size.How can I do that? In both kindle previews which are provided by word and kindle create, the images resizes randomly if I change the font size. Even though if I choose the "full size" option in kindle create. What am I missing?
Does Kindle Create automatically create a link to the beginning of the text? On the Preview tool on KDP my book opens with the cover. Will it open at the start of the book (after the contents etc) for anyone who purchases the book? I have searched online for an answer to this and can find no mention of this. I have published many ebooks in the past and used to put my own links in during formatting.
This is my third day trying to figure out whats going wrong, but in vain. My attempt to create a kindle format to publish failed and keeps failing. The fact that kindle create centers the text gets the dialogues in the text to be messed up. Sometimes three words are spread along a whole line. Why? The fact that I am a novice would not explain the whole issue. Many other people encountered the same problem.
Kindle Create is a program which can help you publish a book to in kindle format via Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) as an .epub file. I find it's pretty primitive software, but the advantage of using Kindle Create is that you can nicely format your title page, and then your final .epub will be in a simple text format where Kindle readers can scale the text size for best readability. If that sounds like TOO much work you can just use any old word process or Adobe InDesign to save a PDF, or often these system will also try to save a .epub file, but it just might not look quite right. It's a fiddly art, and I suggest only use Kindle Create if you have a very simple black-and-white text book with no pictures. Honestly, even bullet points get messed up in Kindle Create. Ouch!
Amazon recommends Kindle Create, their free interior formatting tool available for desktop on both Mac and PC. Kindle Create can be used to create novels, essays, memoirs (Reflowable); textbooks, travel books, and cookbooks (Interactive Print Replica); and Comics (Comics with Guided View).
This may sound surprising but there is more than one way to create content for your eBook. Apart from coming up with a completely new idea, you can either repurpose your previously published content (like blog posts, podcasts, or YouTube videos) or even use PLR content.
More expenses come in if you want to get your eBook professionally edited or you hire a designer to create the cover and other visuals. For example, hiring a professional to edit a 10,000-word manuscript can cost you anywhere between $300-600.
Once the content is ready, it takes just a few simple steps to start selling your eBooks online: prepare your eBook for selling, create a Sellfy store and upload your eBook, and start monetizing your eBook with the right pricing.
There are numerous benefits to self-publishing your book on Kindle Direct Publishing. The Amazon KDP Publishing platform has helped revolutionize the publishing industry, giving authors the opportunity to make it easier to publish a book and create a sustainable book business.
Amazon doesn't make other authors' earnings publicly available and rightfully so. But Dave Chesson has created a calculator that can predict how much a certain book is making in your niche. All you have to do is find its ABSR in Amazon and plug it in. Pretty cool!
