Amazon's Kindle Create Formatting

[Mammasan]

I never got around to actually ever using Amazon's automatic Kindle formatting for Word plug-in, Kindle Create Add-in for Microsoft Word, though when I played with it a bit it looked good.

I've just gotten an email from Amazon extolling Kindle Create formatting, it looks like they've upgraded it some (you can add images).

Anybody ever actually use Kindle Create to format a manuscript?

I tried it when it first came out - even had some back and forth on email with some of the developers - but it never worked for me and I got ticked off when I couldn't even uninstall the stupid thing.

If it has been improved I would be willing to try it again but remain wary.

I'm not sure why you would need a plugin for Word. I write in Google Docs, save as a Word docx file, and upload it into KC for final formatting (in which I can still edit if necessary).

(BTW: I've noticed KC produces a higher KENP than D2D or uploading a straight Word docx.)

That's very interesting.  Thanks for the information.

Saw it for the first time today.  I don't know if I'll use it, since I'm already used to (and fairly happy with) D2D's options.

I see some familiar names in their examples of authors who have used it.

Really? Good to know!
