Your Kindle Book Will Have All These Features:
A Cover Page
Give us your current cover page and we will make sure it looks great on the Kindle. If you do not have a cover page we will help you create one. Here is a sample cover page as seen on a classic Kindle:
Active Table of Contents
Guide Items And Locations Bar With Chapter Indicators
Kindle has the option to "Go To” the cover image, beginning and the Table of Contents of your book, anywhere from the content. There is a navigation bar that helps readers quickly see how many chapters there are, what chapter they are on and how far to the next chapter.
Most unprofessionally formatted Kindle books do not have this feature. For Kindle readers a none working navigation is an instant indication of a poorly formatted Kindle book. And since the reader cannot navigate with ease they get frustrated when if they need to re-read a chapter or jump to the table of contents - its easier to delete the book than to find a chapter.
Of course, your Kindle book will have all the navigational functionality - your readers will be able to navigate the way they would expect with any professionally formatted Kindle book.
Professionally Formatted Text
These are small details, but they are important! It is what makes the difference between a professionally created Kindle book and an amateur conversion.
Your converted manuscript will have:
- Top margin chapter headings
- Large first letter of chapter
- Indented secondary paragraphs
Front and Back Matter
Front matter is the beginning pages of a book, which may include a Title Page, Copyright Page, Dedication, Preface, and Prologue. You do not need all these these pages but for a stylish and professional presentation we will make sure you have at least a Title Page.
Back matter consists of the last pages in your book which provides additional information the reader should know about, such as Bibliographies, Appendices, Notes or Glossaries.
Correctly Sized, Placed and High Quality Images
What About Color?
All the above examples were from a classic Kindle so that is why they are black and white. But with the advent of color devices like the iPad and Kindle Fire your book can be viewed in color. Here is what the page looks like on a full color device like Kindle Fire:
