Learn about using the Kindle Previewer to convert.
- [Instructor] Another way to get your book…up onto the Kindle Bookstore…is to export it or get it into ePUB format,…a valid ePUB format.…And then from the ePUB, convert it to a MOBI file.…Very likely, you already have an ePUB…that you are submitting to the Apple iBookstore or to Kobo,…and so you already have one that's good to go.…Where you want to start with this process…is this page here, Kindle Format 8 Overview.…This is actually an old page…because KF8, this format, was introduced in 2011.…
But one of the reasons I like it,…other than it reminds me of what's so cool about KF8,…this is the current version for most Kindle reflowable…and fixed layout ebooks,…is that it's based on HTML5 and CSS3,…which may sound familiar if you remember the ePUB chapter,…because that's what ePUBs are all about.…What I like about it is it's got all these handy links…to things that I download all the time.…So I have this page bookmarked in my working computer.…And while we're on this page right here,…the program I'm going to show you…
