Looking for a Kindle Create Alternative?
Kindle Create is free and fine for a basic Kindle ebook, but it outputs a Kindle-only KPF, its paperback layout control is limited, and it produces no accessibility-ready EPUB for the EU Accessibility Act. If you want a real print-ready 6x9 interior and a standards-based EPUB from the same manuscript, upload your .docx here and see the typeset pages before paying.

Frequently asked questions
What does Kindle Create not do?
It targets Kindle (KPF) ebooks. Its paperback interior control is limited, it doesn't produce a general EPUB you can sell outside Amazon, and it has no accessibility features for the EU Accessibility Act. It's also a desktop app you install.
How is PaperbackKit different?
It runs in the browser (no install), auto-detects chapters, and produces a print-ready 6x9 KDP interior PDF plus an accessibility-ready EPUB (metadata, alt text, navigation) from one Word file — you see the typeset pages before paying $19.
Can I still publish on Kindle?
Yes. The EPUB works for Kindle and other stores, and the print PDF is for KDP paperback. One upload covers both print and ebook.
Do I need an Amazon account or the app?
No account and nothing to install to typeset and preview. You only need your KDP account when you upload the finished files to Amazon.
