Kindle Previewer

Kindle Previewer is a simple eBook utility application that can help Windows PC users to better prepare their eBook projects for publishing by allowing them to reliably emulate how their eBooks will be rendered in a variety of modern devices, including a wide variety of Kindle readers, tablets, and smartphones.

Since today’s audience can experience digital books on such a wide variety of screen sizes, authors today must think about all types of reader experiences and prepare their products to be enjoyable on all displays.

Kindle Previewer was developed by Amazon.com, Inc., and it serves as an additional resource for all Kindle authors who are preparing their work to be published on the Amazon marketplace with the help of the “Kindle Create” app. This standalone utility empowers them to load their book and check out how will it look in a variety of display sizes, screen ratios, screen orientations, and pixel densities.

The app is distributed online as a standalone package that is not bundled with a separate Kindle Create app. After a quick and streamlined installation process, users can easily get this app up and running on their desktop or laptop PC and start previewing the look of their books on various emulated display models.

The app can load up a preview of the book and showcase it in the desired device format, with built-in tools for simple editing (Font picker and Font size). The dashboard can load single pages or multiple pages, and emulate portrait or landscape viewing. The supported emulated devices are Tablet, Phone, and Kindle E-reader. Users can flip between pages manually, search for a specific page, click on the table of contents shortcuts, and activate the Auto-Advance View (slideshow) option. Users also have access to a set of keyboard shortcuts for easier navigation through books, with arrow keys flipping through pages, and CTRL+arrow keys jumping to the nearby table of contents sections.
