A Kindle book that reads like it came from a publisher
Readers judge a Kindle book in the first few pages. Inconsistent fonts, stray blank pages, broken chapter breaks, or a table of contents that doesn't link are the fastest route to a one-star review. We rebuild your manuscript with clean, consistent styles so it reflows properly at every font size and on every Kindle device and app.
Every book gets a linked table of contents, styled chapter openings, correct scene breaks, front and back matter in the right order, and images sized for sharp display. We then check the result in Kindle Previewer on phone, tablet, and Kindle e-reader views before it reaches you.
Kindle files, MOBI, and what KDP accepts in 2026
Amazon no longer accepts MOBI for new reflowable Kindle books. KDP now takes EPUB, DOCX, or KPF and converts it to its own Kindle format. We deliver a KDP-ready EPUB (the format Amazon recommends) plus a Kindle-tested file, so you can upload with confidence. Need a MOBI for an older workflow or for sending review copies? Just ask; it's included. Read more in EPUB vs KPF vs MOBI.
Why hand formatting beats automated converters
Free converters and many low-cost gigs simply run your Word file through software. That carries every hidden formatting problem in your document straight into the eBook. We clean the underlying code instead, which is why our books look consistent on old and new Kindles alike and why KDP accepts them first time.
