Reply To: Magazine InDesign to Kindle (April 2015)

Thanks for all that info, Kathryn. I’m glad you’re able to establish that successful workflow.

When I’m explaining this material I try to keep to what’s written in guidelines, if they exist. In this case the Kindle Guidelines are pretty detailed.

I do that so I can flesh out and describe what’s in the Guidelines. If I presented methods that are different from what the retailers *say* they want, then I’ll get lots of questions about why I’m not following the guidelines. I’m glad to hear your different results, and hope that readers of the article will be encouraged to try different routes to their final MOBI.

I think we’re all pretty used to seeing items in guidelines while knowing they are not completely supported, or workable, or true at all. That’s why this community is so valuable, and why experimenting and testing are vital.

Kevin.
