How to Read Your EPUB/MOBI File and How to Publish on Amazon KDP

Posted on 2012-Sep-03

If you are a client, thank you for supporting our startup, BB eBooks, and we hope that you love the design and layout of your eBook. We really hope you make great sales. If you are not client, then we hope that this video is useful for your publishing endeavors. We put together these videos because many clients had questions about how to view their EPUB and MOBI eBooks that were shipped back to them. We will also talk briefly about how to publish on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing program.

Viewing Your EPUB and MOBI eBook

You should receive an EPUB and MOBI file from BB eBooks. These are standalone eBooks that are ready for immediate upload to the various eBook vendors. The MOBI file is for Amazon, and the EPUB is for everyone else. It is always a good practice to preview your eBooks before making them ready for sale. Also, please contact BB eBooks if you need to make any adjustments, we would be happy to do so at no additional charge.

To read your eBooks, you will need the following software:

Adobe Digital Editions (for the EPUB)
Kindle Previewer (for the MOBI/KF8)

The following video explains how to read your eBook on a PC. For Mac users, the process is similar:

We really hope you are happy with your eBook.
