I published my book and downloaded it yesterday. I had no intention of going back to square one.įinally, after some persistence, I received a clear assurance that they had at last solved this glitch and that the links would work on all image devices for Kindle. When I had this problem a second time and went back to their Help service, referring to my original complaint, I received the same boilerplate as before. During that time I have experienced the frustration of dealing with the Kindle Direct Publishing Help service, which does not send an immediate acknowledgement of messages posted via the web site, takes several days to send a boilerplate response to a specific request, does not allocate a reference or case number to each input and, once you fight your way through the boilerplate, signs each response with a different name so you never know who you are dealing with.
Worse than that, the problem has existed since I first uploaded a book in February.
Kindle textbook creator links pdf#
Unfortunately, Amazon have proved incapable of preserving these functional links when they add the digital rights management (DRM) protection to the pdf file before publishing it. A pdf file can easily be made that preserves these links functionally within the document. My books contain a large number of hyperlinks for cross references. All in all, Kindle Textbook Creator is a good idea. It also claims to incorporate pop-up images and mp3 audio files, though I haven’t tested this. This is something of a drawback, but perhaps not so great a one since people use such books for reference and clarity of presentation rather than for casual reading, and the displayed text has the usual facilities for searching, highlighting, annotating etc. not basic Kindles but Kindle Fire, other tablets, phones and Kindle for PC. The result can only be viewed on devices that display an image, i.e. This preserves all the formatting and fonts of the original.

Kindle Textbook Creator is a piece of software that takes a pdf file and converts it into an image of the page suitable for Kindle viewing, adding digital rights management (DRM) as it does so.
and they include phonetic symbols in the Times New Roman Phonetics font, which does not display on a Kindle screen. There are two reasons: my books have complex formatting of numbers, bullet points, spacing, headers tables etc. Fair enough, that is what works with Kindle’s reflowable text. Most books published for Kindle have plain narrative text they are novels or text-based non-fiction. It is not all that long since self-publishing on Kindle was a nightmare now it is easy. The world of self-publishing has moved on a lot in the last few years.
