Format Your Ebook with Kindle Create
The easiest path to a professional Kindle book. Convert your manuscript into a flawless Ebook file using Amazon’s own free tool.
Formatting for digital devices is completely different from formatting for print. You don't need margins or page numbers—you need "flow." If you have ever uploaded a Word doc directly to KDP only to find your chapters mashed together or your Table of Contents broken, you know the frustration. Readers expect a navigation menu that works and text that looks great on everything from an iPhone to a Kindle Paperwhite.
Format Your Ebook with Kindle Create is your shortcut to a verified, glitch-free launch.
This guide walks you through using Kindle Create—Amazon’s official free software—to turn your Word document into a polished KPF file. It removes the guesswork of "will this work on a tablet?" by using the tool specifically designed for the job.
