Check Image Pixel Size

1. Right-click on the image file and select Properties.
2. In the image properties window, click the Details tab.
3. Find the size of the image under "Image."

1. Open the image file using the Preview application.
2. From the menu bar, select Tools.
3. Select Adjust Size. Find resolution in the "Image Dimensions" box that appears.

1. Turn off image compression in Word. Images inserted in Word documents are automatically downgraded due to default sizing.
1. Select File > Options.
2. In the "Options" box, click Advanced.
3. Under "Image Size and Quality", do one of the following:
• Ignore the drop-down list to select your current document by default.
• Choose All New Documents to turn off picture compression on all future documents.
4. Under "Image Size and Quality", choose Do not compress images in file. This setting applies to only the document that you selected in the "Image Size and Quality" list, unless you also select All New Documents.
5. Under the same section, select Set Default Target Output to: 330 PPI

Enter unique, accurate book details

• Be accurate. Make sure your book details match what’s on your cover and in your manuscript to avoid reader disappointment. Don’t add a series name if you only have one title. Example: If your cover says My Kindle Book, make sure your title name and interior file also say My Kindle Book. Also, you can’t choose a fiction subcategory.
  
  
• Be consistent. Use the same title, author, and series name across editions and formats. The author name is one of the most common ways customers find your books. Also, several Amazon features (e.g., Author Pages and Series Page) rely on a consistent author name. If you want multiple titles to appear on an Author Page or Series Page, or want different editions to be linked, you need to use the same name. For example, if you use John T. Smith for your first book and J.T. Smith for your second book, it can make it harder for customers to find all your titles.

Make sure Enhanced Typesetting is enabled

1. Download Kindle Previewer and open your book.
2. Select View > Book information.
3. If your eBook supports Enhanced Typesetting you'll see a green checkmark in the Navigation pane.
