When I published my first book, Free Will, on Amazon in 2011, it was a reflowable mobi generated by Kovid Goyal's Calibre.
I created 340 small gifs and added them to the text flow at or near actual page breaks in my print edition.
I am now working on my second book and hope to upload it soon to Amazon.
I have several test Kindles, my original as well as the latest Fire HD8 and the Paperwhite. The PPW optionally displays the real page numbers in my Free Will book as well as their locations.
In the PPW Go to menu, I can go to Page or Location.
But the Go to menu in the Kindle Fire has the Page option grayed out. I can't see why.
Amazon tells me I can offer two versions of the Kindle book, one FXL, one reflowable. I have exported both types of EPUB from InDesign. Kindle Previewer throws lots of errors for both.
Calibre converts to a MOBI that plays well in the PPW, but I am having trouble sideloading into Fire HD8.
I am writing up a HOW TO ADD REAL PAGE NUMBERS for textbook authors who want page numbers that correspond to their print edition.
Instead of gifs, this time I added page numbers with the same style as those in the print edition.
I attach a draft and would appreciate critical feedback. I will submit this to InDesign Magazine.
