I am using my husband's account and just wanted to introduce myself. I am Augusta from Sri Lanka. Followed yr other videos & created journals and a storybook. Thanks for your genuine effort to share your knowledge with us.
I am too from Sri Lanka and I have uploaded many low content books but I have a problem of creating my account as our country doesn’t work so how are you managing with your account? Please let me know
@@noelinegunawardena1258 Glad that you are a Sri Lankan. In my case didn't have any issues when creating the KDP account . I followed Master Online Earn youTube channel to create. Try his channel. Infact, I couldn't sell any of my low content books as I feel I did not advertise any of them bu I sold 3 coloring books for adults I created,
Hi Ivy, your video is really help. I started publishing my book in KDP after watching your video. I want to ask about copyright page. How you get and create this page? Thank you in advance
That's such a kind comment -thank you so much! I'm very glad you find my videos helpful and huge congratulations on publishing your first composition book! :)
@@ivyhang5084why your main story contain white spaces top and bottom on every page? This is like every book should look? Not to fill entire page ? I made same way cover but seems i mess this up and i need either to make new one or fix current one At the end of your video i see that you are making pdf for sale ? Mobi files ? I dont have mobi graphic only pdf .😊
Thank you so much, although it was a little challenging for me in the beginning, once I got it down, I did this for all five of my children's books, and my poetry book as well, thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials, so so helpful....
Thank you so much for your videos, I finally placed my paper back on Ebook platform. It took two more ladies at the library to figure this out with the help of your video. God bless Ps Half to wait 72 hours to check it out. 🙏❤️
Thanks for your question - I would say it probably doesn’t matter if you are sure you will not ever want it printed in paperback but if you do then best to keep it compliant with the kdp paperback sizes :)
Hi Ivy. Thank you for the clear instructions. Some questions in my mind I hope u can help: 1. Delivery fee is for physical book and ebook? 2. I have yet to launch my physical book. I'm thinking of launching both physical and ebook at the same time. Any restrictions? Thank you so much. I'm very inspired!
Thanks for your comment! Regarding your questions, the delivery fee mentioned in this video is specifically related to ebooks. However, when you publish physical books, there is also a printing cost associated with it. In both instances, this cost will just be netted off the price of your book, so as long as you price your books above the cost, you will still have a positive margin. And, yep, you can certainly publish your ebook at the same time as your physical book if you prefer :) Hope this helps!
This video is awesome! Thank you. However, I can't seem to get the previewer to work, even though I downloaded it, and it's sitting on my desktop. The Kindle Kid's Book Creator can't find the Kindle previewer. Any suggestions? I've tried reloading it, restarting my computer, etc. I have a Mac and was careful about downloading the correct version for my computer. I guess I can preview it on the bookshelf--but actually, I'm doing this for a friend, so I'll have to watch him upload and see how it looks. It would be nice to know ahead of time how it turned out.
Hi Ivy, wonderful video i did exactly what u did this is what amazon said "Books that contain large blocks of text captured as an image create a poor customer experience, as they can become unreadable on Kindle devices and in print. Books that are primarily composed of scanned or image-captured content should be reuploaded using a reflowable file format such as DOC, DOCX, or HTML"
Thanks for your kind comment. Regarding your question - were you publishing a kids story book or were you publishing a book with lots of text on each page? I think the comment you received from Amazon is saying that given your book has a lot of text per page, it is better to upload it using a word formal instead of a PDF format, so that people are going to be able to read it better on their devices.
@@ivyhang5084 Thanks ivy its a kids book i have used canva and per page i do have say 2 paragraphs of text and used your software and got this message would you be doing a tutorial on how to use the word formal soon thank you very much
You're a blessing from God Ivy Hang. I want to do this, thank you teaching us. Please, teach us more. Can I publish the book both in amazon and kindle?
Thank you for your very kind words and I’m glad you find my videos helpful! Will definitely continue to share more tutorials - stay tuned! Regarding your question, the answer would be Yes :)
Hi, appreciate your videos, especially because you take your time and don’t speak too fast. Could I ask please, can you do this at the same time time as releasing a paper copy or would you wait a while ?
Thank you for your kind words! :) regarding your question- I usually do my paperback first to ensure no issues come up during the review process and then subsequently add the ebook version. I think you can do both at the same time but for me it’s just easier to know if there are any errors so I can ensure it gets reflected in the ebook version as well before publishing it. Hope this helps!
Hi i have watched your videos many times !! Im still struggling to get the book cover correct ...just how do you 1. Delete the kdp template below your graphics and 2. After spending a lot of time teying to get manuscript correct due to gutters not big enough! But do reply re the kdp templates can you just leave it under the pdf file creation cover ?
Hello Ivy, thank you for the videos. They are very helpful! Could you please make one video on how to convert a paperback to hardcover. Appreciate it!!
Thank you for your kind comment! Feel free to check my most recent video on creating a hard cover book here: How to Publish a Hardcover Journal on Amazon KDP | Step-by-Step Guide + Exclusive Design Tip! th-cam.com/video/52ZlUYe-0Vg/w-d-xo.html
@@ivyhang5084 Yes I just watched. Thank you! I wanted to convert my paperback (square book) to hardcover; but then I just realized that KDP doesn't have the option for hardcover square books. Only paperback square. 😅
Hi Thank you for the video its very hepful. So do we need to adjust the size of page before exporting to pdf? meaning I had 8.625x8.75 do I need to customize the page size to fit for ebook or just continue with what I have?
What a great channel this is! I'm grateful to have find you :) Thank you for your amazing videos, I've been watching some already and published my first paperback. I will definetely try the eBook version! :)
Hi Ivy, Thank you so much for your videos. They are extremely helpful! I have three children's books published with KDP and now I am attempting to convert them into ebooks following this tutorial. How did you create the copyright page? Thank you for your time!
Great video. Step by step and concise. Just one question: in case I'd like to publish only the ebook the size of the canvas is the same of the paperback (bleed or no bleed)?
Hello nice and lovely video. Do I need to pay to get my book copyright from the copyright organization in the USA. Or Amazon will handle that. Also I don’t understand how can an ebook be delivered for them to charge delivery fee. I thought they just need to download it to their devices and that’s all
Thanks for your kind comment! For children's books, I generally would put a copyright page, but not necessarily for other low/ medium content books like journals and coloring books, etc.
Hi Ivy, love love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing and helping all of us :) I currently have 3 activity book which have stories and about 30 activities. I want to try and have an ebook version of this. Is this advisable? Would Amazon approve this? My books have about 3 short stories each so was thinking might be good to have an ebook version? Thank you so much!
Thank you for your very kind comment! If your book consists of short stories primarily then I think you can definitely go ahead and publish an ebook version as well. However, if it is primarily activity pages, then I would recommend just keeping it as paperback. Hope this helps! :)
Hey Ivy, I trust you're doing great. At 7:18, I tried downloading as you instructed, but I ended up with two copies instead of one. I'm wondering where I might have made a mistake. I downloaded the PDF as PF print, flattened it, and used RGB (optimal for digital usage).
Hello Ivy! Awesome videos. I created a book called Mr. Flathead: The greatest catfish ever known. It took me sometime to figure out how to create my book on canva, but I can't seem to put it on the Ebook part. Please forgive me I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I'm trying to understand all this author stuff. I have asked a few people to help me with this but they are lost with this stuff. I have watched your video over and over but I'm still not doing something right 😢 Is there any way you can help me with this? Thank you God bless
Ivy I really want to thank you a lot. You have really helped me a lot in publishing both paperback and ebook version ❤ I don't know if I'll be able to sell my book Or not but still hoping for the best😊 Thanks once again dear 💕
Hi Thank you for this great info. It is a God send! I followed everything you said but think I did something wrong. For some reason my cover is not listed in the eBook folder you said to create. If I add a page to my book in the beginning would that be ok? or do i need to start all over again? Will I loose all the pop up info If i do?
Thank you for your kind comment and glad you enjoyed the video! Regarding your question, you can always just download the cover page separately from Canva as a JPG and then just upload that as part of the Kindle upload process. No need to re-do your pop ups. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your kind comment and support! :) I certainly don't know everything yet, but will continue to learn more so hopefully I can continue to bring valuable content to all of you!
I have a doubt, you already downloaded in kids creater as both cover and interior , then again in amazon kdp , you uploaded a cover again? And also kindle kids creater doesn't show the first cover page when it's created your both cover and interior please clear my doubt it's confusing please please please ivy ? ! You explain it so well that I can understand!!pleass
Dear ivy!!! First thankyou so much for this video that iam waiting for? My doubt is i already downloaded a kindle creater not kindle kids creater ,which means done those process and saved as KPF fileformat in my pc but when i upload in kdp as manuscrip its saying it need a fixed format , which i did crt already means it first asked docx or kpf format ! What to do please make a content of kindle normal creater not only kids creater or pls clear me please 🥺😕🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😢ivy!
Thanks so much for yr prompt response. I converted my Paperback story book to an e-book & now it's published. Can I ask you a question regarding the Payoneer account? Some say there is something wrong with it. I am worried as I operate only a Payoneer account & have funds yet to transfer. Appreciate it if you could let me know if it's ok to continue Payoneer account. Thank you
Thanks for watching! Regarding your question, I do think that it is always beneficial to provide more options to your customers so having both a paperback and ebook version is always good :)
Copyright page will usually include wording noting that the contents of the book should not be replicated without permission from the author, etc. However, you can also take a look at other books for guidance on how to word your copyright page :)
Hello Ivy - I actually bought your No Place Like Home book to evaluate the quality of the paper for my own project - can you tell me if you use standard or premium paper? Thanks again for all the help! ❤️
Thank you for your message and for purchasing my book! Regarding your question, I used premium paper for that book. Hope this helps and all the best with publishing your book! :)
Thank you for your kind comment and glad you found the video helpful. I personally did not encounter that error message. If you are encountering issues during the KDP upload process, you can also try to contact KDP support via their live chat to see if they are able to assist. Hope you manage to figure this out and have it published -all the best!
I'm sorry to hear. Did you make sure you have opened up the pop up box before pasting? If not able to paste, then best alternative would be to just type it out, but may just be more time consuming. Make sure you double check for errors/ typos before publishing :)
@@ivyhang5084 Thanks once again for your response. I appreciate it very much. Yes I did. My problem was copying the text from canva & paste it. But thanks to Canva pro I was able to copy it. Also there was an option in KDP to add text automatically. It helped a lot & didn't have to type it. Sorry I didn;t let you know that I published the bookmanaged to publish the e-book. Pls pardon my english. Not perfet trust I was able to convey what I had to say. Best regards. (Augusta)
Hi. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I was told that Kindle is phasing out Kindle Kid's Book Creator and only offering Kindle Create. I couldn't get Kindle Kid's Book Creator to download, but I was able to download Kindle Create. I'm having an issue uploading my book from Canva.I started the process and chose "comics" as another youtuber suggested. Now, when I choose to import the pdf of my canva book, it isn't highlighted, so I can't import. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your question, I haven't personally used Kindle Create for my kids books before so will have to try to it out answer your question. However, I noticed I was still able to download Kind Kids Book Creator from this link in case you are still interested: www.amazon.com/Kindle-Kids-Book-Creator/b?ie=UTF8&node=23500500011
Hi Ivy do u maybe know the size for an ebook to upload on Amazon.I am using my phone and the links u have does not have apps support on my phone Hope u can helo
Unfortunately, currently I don't believe they have landscape option. Only portrait or square shaped books. Please refer to this link here (under the "Trim Size" section, you will see the listing of various book size options). kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6 Hope this helps!
hello, I really like this video tutorial. I am grateful and want to try it. May I ask, is this method still valid? I mean using Canva, because I've also tried it, but when uploading the product contents of the book, Amazon's KDP asked for a fixed format and I had to install the Kindle Create application.
Hi Ivy, I just used your 8.5x8.5 tutorial for the printed book. But I'm not following along with the eBook. I'm using the Kindle Create standard software and I don't see many of the page layout as you have. *edit....also the option doesn't give me choose cover from first page. So I'm lost on what happens to my back page?
Thank you for your question. My tutorial is actually using the Kindle Kids book Creator which would be different from Kindle Create, which is perhaps why you are seeing some of those differences. Try downloading Kindle Kids book creator if you can and you should be able to follow along - all the best! :)
If you have Canva already, then you can actually create flipbooks from there. Just go to the "Apps" section and search for flipbooks and you'll see a few app options that could help you create flipbooks easily :)
Did i miss something? Didn't see steps to convert the book file itself/manuscript to the proper file or format to upload for the ebook. Your file was already a mobi file, how to do that step to actually convert the file to the proper format to upload?
Thanks for your question. Just to confirm, are you trying to publish a kindle ebook or a paperback? If paperback, what interior color option did you select? If you are publishing a paper back, you should select "premium color ink and white paper". If you select this one, then the min. pages required would be 24. I think you may have selected the "standard color ink and white paper" option instead, which would have required min. of 72 pages. Hope this helps! Adding the KDP reference link here so you can see this as well (details under the "TRIM SIZE" section of this link): kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6#trimsize

Thanks so much for yr prompt response. I converted my Paperback story book to an e-book & now it's published. Can I ask you a question regarding the Payoneer account? Some say there is something wrong with it. I am worried as I operate only a Payoneer account & have funds yet to transfer. Appreciate it if you could let me know if it's ok to continue Payoneer account. Thank you

Do you think all paperback story books should be converted to ebook?
Thanks for watching! Regarding your question, I do think that it is always beneficial to provide more options to your customers so having both a paperback and ebook version is always good :)
Please provide what is in the copyright page
Copyright page will usually include wording noting that the contents of the book should not be replicated without permission from the author, etc. However, you can also take a look at other books for guidance on how to word your copyright page :)
Hello Ivy - I actually bought your No Place Like Home book to evaluate the quality of the paper for my own project - can you tell me if you use standard or premium paper? Thanks again for all the help! ❤️
Thank you for your message and for purchasing my book! Regarding your question, I used premium paper for that book. Hope this helps and all the best with publishing your book! :)
@ thank you! This does really help! And I will give your book to my niece too 🥰
thank you so much for your effort!! Did you encounter problem on error message during upload the whole pdf? "corrupted images"?
Thank you for your kind comment and glad you found the video helpful. I personally did not encounter that error message. If you are encountering issues during the KDP upload process, you can also try to contact KDP support via their live chat to see if they are able to assist. Hope you manage to figure this out and have it published -all the best!
Thank you very informative! clear and precise!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind comment :)
Great video. Very clarifying. Thanks👌
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words :)
Thanks for your very valuable video. I followed yr video & tried to convert the e-book I couldn't paste the text onto the pop-up text box.
I'm sorry to hear. Did you make sure you have opened up the pop up box before pasting? If not able to paste, then best alternative would be to just type it out, but may just be more time consuming. Make sure you double check for errors/ typos before publishing :)
@@ivyhang5084 Thanks once again for your response. I appreciate it very much. Yes I did. My problem was copying the text from canva & paste it. But thanks to Canva pro I was able to copy it. Also there was an option in KDP to add text automatically. It helped a lot & didn't have to type it. Sorry I didn;t let you know that I published the bookmanaged to publish the e-book.
Pls pardon my english. Not perfet trust I was able to convey what I had to say. Best regards. (Augusta)
Hi. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I was told that Kindle is phasing out Kindle Kid's Book Creator and only offering Kindle Create. I couldn't get Kindle Kid's Book Creator to download, but I was able to download Kindle Create. I'm having an issue uploading my book from Canva.I started the process and chose "comics" as another youtuber suggested. Now, when I choose to import the pdf of my canva book, it isn't highlighted, so I can't import. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your question, I haven't personally used Kindle Create for my kids books before so will have to try to it out answer your question. However, I noticed I was still able to download Kind Kids Book Creator from this link in case you are still interested: www.amazon.com/Kindle-Kids-Book-Creator/b?ie=UTF8&node=23500500011
Hi Ivy do u maybe know the size for an ebook to upload on Amazon.I am using my phone and the links u have does not have apps support on my phone

Thank you. I did it with you🤗
Keep it up!! Thanks for supporting my videos and glad you managed to publish 😊
You've been a treasure ! Thank you very much :0)
So kind of you to say! Thank you for your support of my videos/ channel :)
Hi, where in KDP I can select landscape or portrait ?
Unfortunately, currently I don't believe they have landscape option. Only portrait or square shaped books. Please refer to this link here (under the "Trim Size" section, you will see the listing of various book size options). kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6 Hope this helps!
Yay you did the video! Very useful, thanks 😊
Yes I did! 😊 Glad it was helpful - Thank you for the suggestion!
I need a bir of jelp if you can as i am struggling with a few yhings. It will be nice ro get your input. Thanks
How to enable X-Rays , page flip and other options?
hello, I really like this video tutorial. I am grateful and want to try it. May I ask, is this method still valid? I mean using Canva, because I've also tried it, but when uploading the product contents of the book, Amazon's KDP asked for a fixed format and I had to install the Kindle Create application.
I am having the same problem and Amazon is rejsecting my .kpf file too
Thanks Ivy. From South Africa
Thank you for your kind support! :)
This was really helpful...thank you greatly
So glad to hear that you found it helpful :). Thank you for your kind comment!
Hi Ivy, I just used your 8.5x8.5 tutorial for the printed book. But I'm not following along with the eBook. I'm using the Kindle Create standard software and I don't see many of the page layout as you have. *edit....also the option doesn't give me choose cover from first page. So I'm lost on what happens to my back page?
Thank you for your question. My tutorial is actually using the Kindle Kids book Creator which would be different from Kindle Create, which is perhaps why you are seeing some of those differences. Try downloading Kindle Kids book creator if you can and you should be able to follow along - all the best! :)
Wish this software could also do page flip feature
If you have Canva already, then you can actually create flipbooks from there. Just go to the "Apps" section and search for flipbooks and you'll see a few app options that could help you create flipbooks easily :)
Did i miss something? Didn't see steps to convert the book file itself/manuscript to the proper file or format to upload for the ebook. Your file was already a mobi file, how to do that step to actually convert the file to the proper format to upload?
Thank you
You're welcome! 😄
hi. i had an doubt .when i read book from kindle app. popup text is not showing up.
Hi I watched your video could you please tell me I'm trying to upload a manuscript but they said it needs 72 pages
Thanks for your question. Just to confirm, are you trying to publish a kindle ebook or a paperback? If paperback, what interior color option did you select? If you are publishing a paper back, you should select "premium color ink and white paper". If you select this one, then the min. pages required would be 24. I think you may have selected the "standard color ink and white paper" option instead, which would have required min. of 72 pages. Hope this helps! Adding the KDP reference link here so you can see this as well (details under the "TRIM SIZE" section of this link): kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6#trimsize
