the ISBN for Kindle is different than the paperback), and save the file in the KPF format. Now, I know this has been around for a while (now I do, anyway), but to me this was NEW and SHINY! The good news is all I need to do now is load the docx paperback version, tweak the content to my ebook content (i.e. I downloaded it, opened it, and cried in joy. After I was done, I noticed a little hyperlink on KDP introducing Kindle Create. I just did this with Cill Darae (Volume 5 of the New Druids series, pick up yours on April 30th!).
Nine times out of ten it looks the way I want the mobi to look (with drop caps, etc.)
#My kindle textbook creator file will not save as a kpf file code#
I spend around 2-3 hours formatting the epub with html code until it looks right. I open the ePub3 in Sigil (software to format ebooks).KDP has been criticised by many for not describing the specific html code it uses to format the Kindle and invariably the mobi will not match what you formatted the epub to look like. KDP will convert your epub to a mobi when you upload it. First, you need to understand that Kindle publishes eBooks in their MOBI format. The conversion is poor though and I find PDFs almost are never modified by KDP and come out exactly as you wanted. For those in the know, yes, KDP accepts docx. Once I am happy, I export to PDF, upload to KDP, preview how KDP processes it, and nine times out of ten it is perfect and I can publish the paperback. I add drop caps (where the first letter of the chapter is enlarged), correct fonts, add blank lines, etc. I make sure chapters start on the right side page. Spread out over every sale you ever make over a books lifespan, Im sure this could make a huge difference in your profits. The corresponding data penalties were about 2.88 vs 0.51 respectively, if I remember correctly. The paperback version of my novels is so easy to do. In contrast though, by instead submitting the KPF produced by Kindle Textbook Creator my effective royalty rose to about 65.
The docx is for the paperback and the epub is for the Kindle. So what I do is compile to a Microsoft Word docx format and an ePub3 format. Try something like Vellum and you will immediately see where Scrivener fails to support the author in formatting what should be a simple thing. It’s supposed to allow you to format your novel in whatever manner you wish. The new Scrivener 3 boasted an improved compiler from that found in Scrivener 2 and I was excited about it. I have been for years now and I LOVE the programme. Once your files have been added, select the Converting menu along the top of the screen. From here, navigate to the file or files you wish to convert, select them, and push the Add button. I write with Scrivener 3 (from Literature and Latte). Press the small button with an image of a file to access your internal storage. Let me explain the process I follow to create a trade paperback version and the Kindle version of my novels for Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
