How to Make Sure Your Ebook Looks Perfect Everywhere
Ever hit "Publish" on KDP, only to realize later that your ebook looks weird on Kindle devices? Maybe the text alignment is off, images don’t scale properly, or that fancy image you chose just disappeared?
Yep. It happens. A lot.
Amazon gives us a free tool to prevent this headache: Kindle Previewer. It lets you see how your book will look on:
✅ Kindle e-readers
✅ Tablets
✅ Phones
✅ The Kindle Cloud Reader
Before you publish, always preview your book across different formats.
Just upload your file in KDP’s previewer or download the standalone Kindle Previewer app on your PC/Mac. (get it here: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G202131170)
🔹 Bonus Tip: If you find an issue, go back and fix your file before hitting publish. Better to spend 10 extra minutes now than deal with bad reviews later.
Write. Preview. Publish. No surprises. 😉
