Although you can select “Print Setting” and change how each page displays the title and author of the book, that’s all you can do for the paperback and hardcover versions. Currently, though, it only shows the eBook version of your text. Kindle Create does have a preview option. I’ll cover the paperback and hardcover books in later posts. What’s better yet is that Kindle Create will automatically place page numbers within the ToC for the printable version of your book. This is quite convenient as you don’t have to worry about creating one manually. So, if you have a line that consists of just one sentence, it’ll be added as a chapter. It’ll also pick up sentences if they are by themselves. So, if you put “Chapter 1” in bold and center it in your text file, the app will automatically grab it as a chapter for the Table of Contents. In fact, the app will automatically grab any bold headers you use in the text file for chapter headings. This can help you flesh out the book with pertinent pages you may have forgotten about in the first draft.įor example, you can easily add the Introduction, Prologue, Epilogue, and Table of Contents with just a click of a mouse. Perhaps one of the most notable features in Kindle Create is the built-in pages for common elements. Or, you can use the Preview function in Kindle Create as well. That way, you can get a better idea of what others will see when reading the eBook. Remember to use the “Preview” function on KDPs website after uploading the eBook’s file. Just keep in mind that the page you see in Kindle Create isn’t going to be exactly how it’s depicted in the actual eBook itself. The idea behind the formatting tools is to help you make the eBook look nice for readers. Instead, you need to use the Indent option for paragraphs. If you want to add an indent to each paragraph, though, you cannot use the TAB key on your keyboard. Just highlight the text and click the button. This includes a very basic text editing system, font size and spacing, limited chapter font designs, and a handful of text elements.įor example, you can easily turn a paragraph into a blockquote. The app gives you the essential ability to format your book.
I just hope Amazon adds a bit more umph behind the tool in future updates. Although there are plenty of writing tools out there, it’s not a bad platform if you don’t have a lot of money to put towards uploading an eBook.
