What was I doing wrong when the PDF looked awesome? I started my research on images on Kindle and I found this ebook, Pictures on Kindle (affiliate link), it’s only. I felt like I was pretty much back to the same first experience. Then I got to the digital previewer where I uploaded the PDF to find fully loaded Canva book with lots of images an absolute mess. No big deal, right? Just a little bump in the self-publishing road. I had to go directly through KDP and set the book up on their end. CreateSpace was easy breezy! (I’ll write a post about CreateSpace soon.) Then I got to that option to convert it to Kindle and it bombed. This time I went through the CreateSpace area first because they do have an option to have the CreateSpace document placed as a Kindle book.

Adobe Pro makes the job incredibly easy! It lets you organize your pages by moving or deleting pages, you can link the table of contents, add images with ease, and add separate pages from a different document. I then skipped the whole Word document and went straight to Adobe Pro to add my changes.

I made sure all my images were at least 300 DPI.

My Canva book is a about ways to use Canva for business and Canva is a visual platform so it only makes sense to have many images. This time I really wanted to have lots of screenshots of Canva features. Well this time it would be easier since I already have my document but just need to include updates and new features Canva has.

It was a chore and it a basic book that I knew I’d have to update soon, which I dreaded. I finally had to take my Word document to PDF and use Adobe Pro for my clickable table of content. Needless to say, I had Monna fix most of it and she placed it on CreateSpace for me for a paperback version. Yikes! What I thought was going to be smooth process it had become a nightmare. What was I doing wrong? My friend, Monna of course helped me and I found not only that I had the photos plus format all wrong, I had the clickable links on my table of contents not working. Oh boy! I was going a bit crazy with the formatting because it looked beautiful on Word but horrible on Kindle. Well with my first edition of the Canva book, I had minimal images, which by the way must be at least 300 DPI, the photos were weird on the preview and my formatting was askew. Which is pretty awesome so you can see how your ebook will look on various devices. doc to KDP, it allowed me to see a digital preview. If you’re new to self-publishing on Kindle, here’s a great breakdown of the process from ReadWrite. doc to the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) system, right? Not exactly. I wrote my book and was ready to share with the world. Well at the time I was a newbie to Apple products and I was a total Microsoft nerd so I HAD to get the Microsoft Office Suite for Mac. I originally created my book on a Mac in Word… okay that sounds strange doesn’t it? Yes, I am fully aware of Pages and that I could have used it on my Macbook.

This time as I revised my,” How To Use Canva Like A Pro For Business (affiliate link)” book (I know… I should have thought of a shorter title!) I was approaching it a whole other way. Thankfully I had a lot of help from my dear friend, Monna Ellithorpe, who introduced me to self-publishing on Kindle and I remembered a lot of her tips. The first time was quite a chore and I didn’t think it was going to be that difficult.

Anyhow it was time to revise my book and get back into the “self-publishing mode” for Kindle. Yes, it was published years ago now and it was quite basic however Canva was basic at the time. Recently I’ve published my Canva book on Amazon Kindle for the 2nd time.
