A Tip I Wish Every Author Knew Before Publishing on Amazon KDP
One mistake I see many authors make is assuming: “If my eBook looks good, my paperback will too.” Unfortunately, Kindle and print books are built very differently. Here’s what often catches authors off guard: 🔹 eBooks are reflowable: readers can change font size 🔹 Paperbacks are fixed layout: spacing, margins & trim size matter 🔹 A file that works for Kindle can fail completely in print 🔹 Reader complaints usually come from print layout issues, not the story What professionals do differently: ✔ Separate formatting for eBook & paperback ✔ Proper margins and gutters for print ✔ Clean chapter breaks & consistent styles ✔ Files tested before upload, not after rejection I share this here because Skool is about learning together, not gatekeeping information.
