Who Kindle Create suits, and what its pages do not list
- Best for: Free ebook and paperback files for Amazon KDP.
Not on Kindle Create’s feature list when we checked: large print or several trim sizes, full-bleed images, front and back matter and a version for web, iOS and Android. That is what the vendor states, not a test; a feature can exist without being listed, and the score only credits what is.
