![]() No thanks to Amazon for continuing to be a jerk. “Never trust Amazon search,” and Amazon programmer told me. As we speak, Amazon is busy strong-arming the larger publishers to pay it to give their books more publicity, which of course means that everyone else’s books gets less visibility and may disappear altogether for search results. Scroll down to the 'Kindle eBook Preview' section. They also want to squeeze publishers and authors from another direction. Click the ellipsis button ('') under the Kindle eBook Actions menu and click Edit eBook content. Amazon does nothing but pocket 65% of the retail price for an credit card transaction and file download that costs it pennies. (I had previously tried starting it but it appeared to silently crash), so this answer seems to solve the problem. I have Java 6 and Xquartz installed, then as soon as I added the JAVAHOME bits to the first script the Amazon Kindle Previewer launched. That’s not much better than the 25% that’s the ebook standard for traditional publishers and those publishers edit, proof, layout and market an ebook. Mark not sure, but I am following along trying to get the previewer to work on El Capitan. Who else has an entire organization dedicated to criticizing them?Īnd for what? Amazon pays the worst royalties in the ebook industry, just 35% on ebooks retailing outside the $2.99 to $9.99 range that they have fixed at the ‘proper’ price for ebooks. Amazon does seem intent on become replacing Comcast as the most hated company in America-at least among writers. Ive tried downloading the latest version, and a Kindle. If we want to create the KF8 equivalent of fixed-layout, they expect us to pay some large sum to a third-pary company. I havent had to use Preview in quite a while, but it no longer boots up on a mac using El Capitan. They won’t spend money, so all of us get stuck with spending more time that we ought creating Kindle books. We want your applications to run as smoothly and reliably as previous OS release and have some options to help get this working again. Reminds me of baby chickens: “cheep, cheep, cheep.”Įven worse, they haven’t updated their InDesign plug-in or helped Adobe create one for us. Kindle Previewer Upgrade To MacOS It sounds like your Preview app has been crashing since your recent upgrade to macOS Sierra. Viewers can access links and preview over 150 file types, plus. Many people who used Linux or a MAC liked the ability to. Dropbox makes it easy to send files big and small, and collect everyones comments in one place. It’s by far the ugliest thing on my Mac.Īmazon is the biggest retailer and the largest seller of ebooks on the planet and yet all they give for previewing is a dreadful Java app. KindleGen is a command line tool used to build eBooks that can be sold through Amazon’s Kindle platform. Rotten, now I won’t have an excuse not to look at that vile Java app.
