Really using LibreOffice writer native odt for edit, "save as" MS Word docx and import to Calibre works perfectly.
I've sold to those three and some other outfit via Smashwords as well as their direct sales. It converts wonderfully well on the KDP platform and also, of course, at Amazon's rivals, all of whom use the universal epub format.Smashwords distribute to Apple, Kobo, Barnes& Noble and others.
My kindle textbook creator file will not save as a kpf file free#
Since I am a strong believer in making books available not only through Amazon but also through Kobo, Apple, Barnes & Noble, and lesser booksellers, I build my book as an epub using the free and excellent Sigil software. I have a small paper size set up in LibreOffice Writer and the ePub from Calibre looks the same.Ī paperback needs extra page styles and paragraph styles as well as headers/footers. Uploading a Calibre "dual mobi" to Smashwords for Mobi seems to work (on a Kindle Keyboard, Calibre viewer and PW3).
Smashwords don't know what Kindle you have, so uploading a. Even if you select "download to PC" and transfer, as you have to select which is the main Kindle (or App) the ebook is for. Then when Amazon sells an ebook they know which format to supply, old mobi, AZW3/KF8 or evil KFX. The Calibre created epub works perfectly for Amazon upload. I've found that the Amazon Kindle Creator is rubbish compared to Calibre and also that Amazon tends to ignore. I've found that Calibre "honours" Writer page breaks created by "text flow" "insert page before". It will then be a document link and not an external URL.Ĭonversion SW (Calibre, Amazon, Smashwords) uses this manually edited TOC to make the NCX. Enter the bookmark in URL with #, like #prologue, #ch1, #appendix etc. Then select each entry and do Ctrl K to set a hyperlink. Copy and paste into a plain text file, delete the index. So for headings/chapers use named styles with no parents, and you can set "Level" so they appear in Writer's navigator.Įach heading must have a bookmark (Anchor) in front, do not select a character or word (old MS Word Form habits). Note that if you use Heading1, Heading2 etc, epub will seem fine, but mobi conversions will have outline level numbers. Getting all the paragraph styles right is important.Īlso NO parent styles and no "named" style for Text Flow of a paragraph style, just set insert page before. Do not open epub before making a copy to upload to Amazon & Smashwords or otherwise Calibre ereader adds a bookmark file. odt), "Save As" MS docx (not OO docx), open once to check, import ms dox, create epub. But you can't upload an AZW or AZW3 file. You can upload a zipped HTML file, or a Word file or a kpf file. You can't build an AZW3 file that will be sold at Amazon. Moreover, unless someone is making it solely for their own device, the AZW3 info isn't useful.
