      Thank you,
      I already wrote my book a few years back, but i never was able to do correct indents, paragraphs etc. Because I wrote the book first and didn't have the book format set up in Microsoft Word (novice). This seems easier for me to do it the way you suggested it. I appreciate your directions on how to format the book correctly.

    If you have formatted margins via Kdps site for the Graphic Novel paperback , can I use my pdf for the e-book version , or do I have to use the kindle create format (kpf) ? Also, Will the hyperlinks only work if I convert to kindle create? Thanks. Great video!

  • @Retro-Future-Land

    Can't say I'm impressed with KindleCreate. It imports doc files but adds a space between the first and second letter of every paragraph, title and subtitle in the book!

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  4 года назад

      Sounds like a glitch in KC - it probably has something to do with the original word file that you are uploading. So what I would do is see how I can clear ALL formatting from it, except for line breaks, sizes, page breaks and the TOC, and then resubmit it. The issue is that there can be invisible characters and encoding in a word doc that when converted to KC creates some strange issues.

    Two questions: 1. Although this is a great program and facilitates the creation of Kindle books brilliantly, don't you also have to make sure the Word.doc (or whatever source) of your book is updated in Word too? 2. Is Kindle Creat good for stripping away any unwanted Word clutter, as I have heard that Word is notorious for adding unneeded code symbols?

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  5 лет назад +1

      Hey Alan, 1) yes, generally that's a good idea and 2) yes, Kindle Create should be able to clean up any unwanted weirdness created by MS Word. I also think that's what the preview feature is good for, you can see pretty much exactly what the kindles will show.
      Even if KC let's something slip through the cracks now (wouldn't really expect it to be perfect), with time we can expect KC to keep getting better, just like the KDP platform has done steadily since it's inception.

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  4 года назад +1

      The idea behind Kindle Create is to skip having to make the PDF altogether (if we're talking about getting your book up on Amazon). You export the .KPF file and upload it straight to Amazon KDP, no PDF required.

      Sure thing! :) Kindle Create is pretty simple at this point and doesn't have a feature to do that. So you could just combine all the word files into one file and then proceed onto KC from there.

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  4 года назад +1

      Citing them would be best of course, since that would increase the credibility and quality of your book. And that probably is something you would want :)

    Great tutorial video. Thanks for putting this out. I have a question though, why is my file saved as .kcb instead of a .kpf? Is there any setting that needs to be adjusted that I should know? I can't upload my book to kdp because of this issue. Hope you can help me out. Thanks.

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  5 лет назад +2

      Glad its useful! If you've saved a .kcb file that means you've saved the actual Kindle Create work file instead of the kpf file that's meant for uploading to KDP. So you can open .kcb files with Kindle Create and keep working on them. Kindle Create actually asks you to save a .kcb file before you can export a .kpf file, so perhaps you stopped before the second part happened. What you can do is just hit the publish button again and follow through with the steps once more, and you should have your file! :)

    My next question is on KDP. I have edited my Kindle version on Kindle Create. I was wondering if I could export this to PDF (with the appropriate formatting for 6*9) or should I start again with Word to make it ready for Amazon paperback? Thanks again.

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  5 лет назад

      Hi again, I am pretty sure you can't use Kindle Create for creating your print book interior file, and kindle create is first and foremost made for kindle book formatting, at least for now.
      So I'd suggest that you go for MS Word, it's not incredibly complex although there are some catches like setting up the page layout, correct margins and page numbering. Good luck!

    Thanks for the video. I have almost completed everything regarding formatting my e book. In Word it looks good. But when I preview it in Kindle previewer, some of the words at the end of the sentences get split , and the remaining word starts in the next sentence. The words looks broken in the previewer. I don’t want my words broken. But in your video, I saw some end words are broken . Is that ok for a book....May it be a paper book or an ebook. Is there any solution ...like managing the margins or I don’t know....to repair the broken words? Thanks

      Happy to help out!
      You don't necessarily "need" to do anything, although I would recommend at least stating to whom the copyright belongs (the author/publisher/pen name). The classic "Copyright (c) Jane Doe, 2020" will do the job. You can also include: "All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the author's/publisher's permission." It's just a good practice to include this, as it will help you legally if someone steals your work, takes credit for it etc. But really, vast majority of cases it won't be an issue.
      P.S. to be clear, I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice :)

    You left out the part where you spend at least a day fixing the formatting messed up upon import. That's on Amazon, not you. Just saying. Helpful video, though!

    Thanks! Just to make sure I understand....Once the pdf is converted to the Kindle Create format, it can be uploaded to Amazon and can be sold, right? There's no other formatting that needs to be done?

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  6 лет назад +1

      Yeah, once you're done doing your tweaks (if any) on Kindle Create, just hit the publish button and it will save your file in KPF format. Then KPF file can be uploaded straight to Amazon KDP!

    Every tutorial I've viewed contains no instructions after you click on "publishing." Where do you add the cover art? Is it after you hit "publishing?"

    @andrewshelton2028 4 года назад

    When I try to make the first paragraph start midway down the page, the preview feature shows how I want it to look. However, when I actually download my own book to check it, the first paragraph starts way up at the top of the page. It does this no matter what device I view it on.

      @@JNIGHTification for sure. Especially that what you'll see in KC as you're formatting it will also be what your readers see in their devices when they read it.
      With MS Word it does not always match 100% and that can cause issues.

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  5 лет назад

      You are not supposed to do any page numbering for kindle books. Kindle books work differently - readers have the ability to change text sizes, different devices have different screen sizes, so there is no page numbering.

    • @BookBeam
      @BookBeam  5 лет назад

      Yes, once you choose your theme it actually applies it for each and every page. Then you can just swim through the file and clean it up here and there if you spot any formatting that you don't like.
