![]() ![]() Kindle apps count as different kindle models. They ask which it's for if you have more than one Kindle. Amazon create at least three Kindle versions from the uploaded epub2 or docx. Unlike Amazon, Smashwords doesn't know what sort of Kindle you have. You can upload epub direct and/or mobi for Kindle, then whatever isn't uploaded is provided via their ms doc input conversion. They have some prehistoric conversion process that only uses MS-DOC and the results are not great. What Amazon accepts as KDP upload is irrelevant to Smashwords.

If you want to publish a proper file at Amazon, today, just upload a bloody ePUB. (Can't wait to see what Smashwords is planning to do, as they use the Calibre API, AFAIK.) I can't think of a great analogy for that now, but the reality is, you have to embrace what Amazon will accept, going forward, not try to shoehorn in an older format with which you cannot really accomplish anything, publishing-wise. So, trying to find a version of KindlePreviewer that won't pop up the warning is.counterproductive. They are not the same thing-in Amazon's eyes. There is a DIFFERENCE between a "dual mobi" created by Kindlegen, via KG through the CL, or through Previewer, and the "dual mobi" format (AZW) that's created by Calibre. Yes, and they've been popping up warnings about using files created by unsupported programs, in unsupported formats, for some time now. I mean this is what Kindle Previewer 3.51 says if I try to open KF8 file with it: ![]()
