Please could someone let me know how or where I can download free Mobi or E Pub software into which I can covert Word documents for Kindle. There's lot's of information ABOUT Mobi and E-pub, but nothing on HOW and WHERE to obtain it.
I have just published a paperback anthology of verse on Amazon Create Space, but when I reviewed the Kindle version, the stanzas and chapter headings were all over the place [right, left, top of the page] rather than the verses being in the centre of the 'page'.
Can E-pub and MOBI help one edit or change the page size to fit the text?
Alternatively, what page size on Word does one recommend, where the position of the text/verses on each page are not going rogue?
Dear Johnathan Hopkins,
Thanks for your reply.
Indeed, I did use Amazon's own software, or rather, uploaded the MS and text appeared in different parts of the page eg Top left, centre right, left etc, rather than centre centre where I wanted it to be (the verses are senru/haiku).
The preview of the paperback version appeared as I had formatted it, at size 6 x 9 imperial.
I have just thought, perhaps, I should centre-centre the text before clicking Page Break; perhaps that explains the rogue text in the Kindle version.
The only one I know of is Calibre.
I'd have said the best way to get a decent Kindle conversion is to use Amazon's own software. Nowadays I think you can download a proof copy once you've uploaded your MS, which wasn't the case years ago and means you can change things and re-submit if there are problems.
