How to format a book for Amazon KDP: everything Amazon requires for a print book interior — trim sizes, margins, bleed, and the errors that most often cause rejection.
A new era: you can learn all of this… or let the AI do it for you. You don't need to know about margins, bleed or typography — upload your Word and the AI understands your book and gets it ready for Amazon KDP and Kindle.
Upload your Word and the AI does the rest: it understands your chapters, applies the typography and margins, validates against Amazon KDP and returns a print interior and an ePub. No templates, no layout know-how.
