    Hello all,

    Apologies, this might be totally wrong place. Trying to upload a book my students wrote to Amazon. I know some people here have done that.

    So my question is how did you do that? I guess it doesn't matter as much if it's a novel and the text can go on any page, but we'd like the text/images to stay where they are. We made it on Pages, tried saving it as an ePub, .doc. pdf and a few others. When we use Amazon's online previewer it comes out all wrong. Headings on bottom of one page with text on the next.

    Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!

    If you have images in the book try uploading it through kindke kids book creator. That's how I do my childrens books on amazon. It coverts a pdf to mobi and has an online previewer.

    I guess you've either figured it out by now or given up... (hope it's the former). In any case somebody might find this useful: In MS Word use page break (in the "Insert" tab) at the end of each chapter to ensure the next chapter starts with the heading on top.
