You can get a bird’s-eye view of your book to quickly validate the overall layout, and selectively preview key aspects of your Enhanced Typesetting enabled book such as images, tables, dropcaps, links and lists without having to go through the entire book. With Enhanced Typesetting, Kindle Previewer provides a better reflection of your book layout as delivered to customers’ devices. We recommend you use the latest Kindle Previewer 3 to review how your books look as a best practice while formatting and before publishing. Some of these improvements include higher quality images, better table formatting and font alignments, smoother word spacing, hyphenation, kerning and ligatures. Kindle Previewer supports previewing your book with the latest typographic and layout improvements that come with Enhanced Typesetting. To make this possible you must set your font size encoding to either percent or ems in Project Explorer > Configuration > Publishing Options > WebHelp > HTML Export Options (these options are also used in eBooks).Kindle Previewer is a free desktop application that enables authors, publishers and eBook service providers to preview how their books will appear when delivered to Kindle customers, and makes it easy to audit books for different screen sizes, display orientations and font sizes. Users want to be able to change the font size in the reader. Embedding fonts makes your eBook files much bigger and you must have permission to distribute the fonts from the font copyright holders as well. You can embed your fonts in your Mobi books, but this may not be worth the trouble since users can change the display font anyway. The Kindle readers allow users to select the font they want to display their book in. If you have separate style settings defined for screen and print view then the print view settings will be used in Mobi. Most of the style settings in your project will be used in Mobi eBooks with the exception of the font face (see below). There is currently no way to change this. The result is that the text in table cells with less text is centered vertically instead of starting at the top or bottom of the cell. Instead, all alignment is automatically set to middle. Vertical alignment settings for tables are also ignored. If you use tables in your Kindle eBook any column widths you set will be ignored. Table column widths and vertical alignment are ignored They will simply be ignored by the reader. Indented paragraphs are not possible in Kindle eBooks displayed on the iOS version of the Kindle app. Also, numbered lists should not contain more than 9 items, because the indents will look incorrect as soon as the list switches from single to double digits. It is best to use only simple bullet lists, and simple numbered lists. No other bullets will be displayed in lists on the iOS Kindle app and multi-level lists with changing numbering and bullet formats will be displayed as an unpredictable mess. Lists only support plain black round bullets and simple numbering Since so many users read Kindle books on these devices you need to be aware of these restrictions and avoid formatting that will result in ugly or incorrect layout on these devices. At the time of writing, the iOS Amazon Kindle app for the Apple iPad and iPhone is inferior to other software and hardware Kindle applications in many ways.
