What is the minimum font size? To ensure your book's text is legible, we require a minimum font size of 7 points. How should I choose a font?

More elaborate fonts can be effective for headers and chapter titles but aren't recommended for body text.

KDP’s book setup makes it easy for you to upload, enter, and modify your book before publishing. The information you enter during this setup will be used in creating your book’s Amazon detail page. The detail page is where readers go to buy your book. If you want to sell your book as an eBook, hardcover, and paperback, be sure to create all formats in your KDP account and link them together.
