Sorry about the delay! I was super excited, and as you can see on the black and white Kindle, it looks ok
However, it seems that there are lots of problems with the coding, and how it’s laid out. Sooooooo…yesterday, I started redoing the project all over again T_T…I’m just hoping that this time, it will work. Although I can’t make it perfect for all the different platforms out there, but my main target are those who have the different Kindle models, iPad and Android tablets. Unfortunately, I still can’t get the Kindle app to work on my Android phone…T_T…
Anways, I spent hours yesterday redoing the images, since the text floating over the image is NOT working with the codes I have. I know it can be done since I’ve seen the samples from Kindle…but can’t seem to figure out their codes…T_T. However, I am just going go with the image at the top and the text below instead. Perhaps in a future edition, and they make it a little more simpler to create!! will I have a book where the text is integrated on top of the illustrations.
So there is still tons of editing and redoing still to be done…T_T…I just hope it all works out in the end!!!
Please email me at hello@idearabbit.ca for any suggestions! or leave a message in the comment section below. Thanks!
Hey there, really interested in this blog as I too want to create a Kindle book. However I have no idea where to start or how complicated it would be to complete if started. So keep going, keep updating us all and I wish you Luck with finishing the book.
Thanks for your message musicvein! You can check out Amazon’s Kindle page, https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/signin…however, I find their website a bit confusing since it’s broken up into sections in an inconvenient way…
Anyways, they say that making text only books are simple…just follow the steps online (upload word document, and jpg file for cover) and I think Amazon will do the rest…
Mine is complicated since I’m doing a children illustration book where I tried placing the text on top of the image…though I’ve decided to have them separate now…maybe in future book I’ll figure it out Good luck to you too~
