KDP File Formats For eBook Conversion
Preferred Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) File Formats

Depending on the complexity of your eBook, the following file formats are supported by Amazon, however, do not confuse "supported" with "recommended" or even viable. As noted below, files containing many images, tables and graphs require more scrutiny prior to making available for sale to the public. Establish a protocol or SRP (Standard Rules of Procedure) early in the process of creating your eBook and you will find that even the most complex files and file formats can be whipped into submission and display exquisitely across a plethora of devices for your reader's pleasure.
