how to convert a file from kindle kids creator to epub

You’ll need 2 versions of your cover – small and big. Here’s a cover for a book I just put out last week that I’ll be using as an example here:

You should also have a nice Kindle-ready cover for your book. Pictures should be roughly the same size, so your pages won’t be all choppy and inconsistent.įor ebooks, image quality does not have to be very high – 72-100 dpi is enough for reading on a screen, unlike for print, where you always want your images to be 300dpi.

Step 1: Get your art readyįor picture books, you will need your art (illustrations) all ready to go in a Kindle-friendly format. I’m going to walk you through my process, in 5 steps I think you can handle and maybe actually enjoy, with a little practice. (Here’s a post about how I use Scrivener.) For longer-format and nonfiction ebooks, you should probably do them entirely in Scrivener ( $40, Literature & Latte). NOTE: I’m talking about picture books here. I’ve been using Calibre for years and never realized it could not only open and save ebooks but also help create them. These days, for many of my ebooks, I’m using two simple tools: Microsoft Word and a free ebook conversion program called Calibre. It may even be easier than the KDP Kids’ Book Creator software itself. And it’s easy, free, and doesn’t need much more than a working knowledge of Microsoft Word. Scared to try doing Kindle books because you’re no techie? Or have you decided that the Kindle Kids’ Book Creator isn’t the software for you (Here are 5 reasons why it isn’t.) but don’t know what to use instead?
