Our Kindle eBook publishing services turn your manuscript into a clean, well-presented Kindle book that is live on Amazon in your own KDP account. We convert and check the file, prepare the listing, advise on pricing and enrolment options, and publish the book with you.
A Kindle eBook is often the quickest and least expensive way to reach readers, but it has its own rules. The text must reflow on screens of every size, and the listing has to persuade a reader in seconds. This service is part of our Amazon book publishing services.
Publish your eBook on Kindle: what we do
- Prepare the manuscript. We clean up styles, set the front and back matter and build a linked table of contents.
- Convert and check. We create the Kindle file and review it in the Kindle previewer in phone, tablet and e-reader views.
- Add the cover. Your front cover is checked against Amazon’s image requirements.
- Complete the listing. Title, subtitle, description, categories and keywords are entered in your account.
- Publish. We submit the book for Amazon’s review and follow it until it is live.
Kindle eBook formatting that reads well on every device
Unlike a printed page, a Kindle book reflows. Readers change the font, the size and the screen they use, so the file has to adapt without breaking. Headings, scene breaks, images, tables and links all need to behave on every device. We format for reflowable reading and test it, which is why a Kindle file is built differently from a print layout. See our book formatting services for print interiors.
KDP Select and Kindle Unlimited enrolment
KDP Select asks you to keep your eBook exclusive to Amazon for an enrolment term. In return, the book can be borrowed through Kindle Unlimited and you can use extra promotional tools. Enrolment runs in fixed terms, and we explain how to renew or leave. Going wide instead lets you sell in other stores. Both are valid choices, and our book distribution services cover the second route.
Kindle eBook pricing strategy
Price and royalty go together, because Amazon’s royalty options depend on the price you set and where the book is sold. A fair price for your genre, set against comparable books, helps readers decide. Launch pricing, price changes and promotional pricing are options we discuss with you. We do not promise a particular result, but we make sure the choice is informed.
File format and checking the preview
KDP accepts an EPUB or a well-formed document, and the quality of the file matters more than the format. We build the file with real chapter breaks, a working contents page and clean styles, then check it in Amazon’s previewer on a phone, a tablet and an e-reader view. Problems such as odd spacing, missing images or broken links show up here, before readers see them.
Pricing and royalty options
Amazon offers different royalty options, and each has rules about price ranges and countries. A lower price can sell more copies but earn less per copy, and a higher price does the opposite. The right choice depends on your genre and series plans. We explain the options as they stand when you publish and help you pick a starting price you can adjust later.
Updating a published eBook
You can upload a corrected file at any time, and the new version replaces the old one after review. For significant fixes, Amazon can offer existing readers an updated copy. We keep a clean master file so each update is quick and nothing is lost.
Fonts, images and links in a Kindle eBook
Kindle readers can change the font, size and spacing, so an eBook should never fix them too tightly. Images need a sensible size and a text description for accessibility, and tables are best kept simple or turned into pictures with captions. Links should open in the right place and never break the reading flow. We follow these rules so the book works on every Kindle device and app, including for readers who rely on screen readers or larger text.
Questions about Kindle eBook publishing
Do I need an ISBN for a Kindle eBook?
No. Amazon assigns its own identifier to a Kindle eBook. You can add an ISBN if you wish, and we explain the options.
Can you convert my Word manuscript?
Yes. We work from a Word or similar manuscript. Clean, consistent styles make conversion faster and the final file more reliable.
Can I sell my eBook in other stores too?
Yes, unless it is enrolled in KDP Select, which requires exclusivity for the eBook during the enrolment term.
How long does it take?
Once your files are final, setup takes a few days. Amazon then reviews the book before it goes live.
Can I update my eBook after publishing?
Yes. You can replace the file and change the details, and updates go through Amazon’s review.
Do I need a different cover for Kindle?
The same artwork works, but the eBook cover is a flat image with different file requirements from the print wrap. We prepare both from your design.
Will Kindle show my table of contents?
Yes, if the file includes a linked contents page and proper chapter headings, which we build for you.
Can I add a series page or a free reader gift?
Yes. A short note about your next book or a link to a reader magnet is helpful, and we place it where it does not interrupt the story.
Can I include colour images in an eBook?
Yes. Colour images work well on modern devices, though file size affects delivery cost on some pricing options. We optimise images so they look sharp without making the file too large.
Can I preview my eBook before publishing?
Yes. The online previewer shows how the book will look on Kindle devices before you publish.
