This is No. 6 in a series of Tutorials for CJ's Easy As Pie "The Pie" Kindle and eBook Self-Publishing Package, which starts here:
Download Helpful Tools
Kindle Previewer is essential.
It gives you a way to see how your book will look when
viewed on a number of different Kindles and other devices.
It has an even more important
function... it is the easiest way to run Kindlegen...
the program that generates the Kindle Mobi file.
You don't have to run Kindlegen
from the computer's command line, as you may have heard.
Instead, you can download Kindle
Previewer, and let it install itself in its default location.
It will also put a Kindle Previewer
icon on your desktop.
When you want to run Kindlegen to
create a Kindle eBook from an HTML file or an ePub file, you just "drag
and drop"... or, what I find easier, "copy and paste" the MOBI
file right on top of the Kindle Previewer icon.
Kindle for
PC, Adobe Digital Editions, and Sony for PC Reader are eReaders. They are good
to have and can help you with proofreading, but they don't display exactly the
same as Kindle devices. If you don't have room for them on your computer, you
can get by without them.
