I walk you through export settings, what they mean, and which may be best for you! Remember this process is different for everyone and every book and not a one-size-fits-all process. You may alter your settings from time to time depending on what you need!

Thanks for your straightforward and refreshingly cheerful tutorial - much appreciated!

This is the first Indesign Export tutorial for kdp that is not incredibly confusing. It's so easy when explained clearly. Thank you! We publish about a book a year, so I everytime have to check again how to exactly export. The last time your tutorial was not around yet and it took way longer to make sure the export is correct. It's so important to make sure the export is correct, so this is very valueable.

very brief and to the point! Thank you for the help, this was excellent. keep up the good work! YT can be drudgery, but you have a niche and a gift, keep at it

Thank you for another excellent video. I haven't done any children's books yet, but for all the other things I've done, I always have had to convert to CMYK. ❤️🐈

You helped me so so much! I was about to lose my mind with this stuff and you made it so simple, thank you! The printer approved my file and its going into print!

1:46 Thank you so much. I sincerely don't understand why Lulu and their ilk refuse to simply say *this* in their Docs.

Bethany; I have a 21 chapter novel set in the ID book format. Whenever I try to export the export button is hidden. As soon as I open one chapter the export button appears. What's up?

[LinnaV]

Thank you your indesign series is carrying my final right now 😭

Thank you very much, I wish u more success 🥰

Thx this was a great help. I have a colour motifs on pages, but in the Amazon preview they are B&W, which of the ID settings will reveal them as colour ?

What a great tutorial! amazing, thank you!! I have one question: Ingram Sparks suggests a 0.125" (3 mm) white strip within the trim area, on the bind side of the page, for perfect bound and hardcover books. How do you suggest doing it?

I found your InDesign videos so helpful! Is there a reason you don't export an X-1a or X-3 PDF for KDP and IngramSpark? I've always done that, but now I wonder if there is a difference between those and a regular print PDF. And, now they have X-4, lol!

Your video was so helpful. I have a question, if the images are in rgb then the settings will be" no color conversion"?

[meredithhansenfavero]

Wow... I have searched the internet far and wide for the details you provided here. THANK YOU! I am on my fifth (after this video, it will be sixth) proof, and I continue to be unhappy with the quality of KDP. Hoping your recommendations here will make the difference! I assume you have had an overall positive experience with KDP?

Hi Bethany, your videos are amazing! Thank you. If one wants to try to draw pictures for one’s own book, (even if one can’t really draw :-( ) have you prepared a video that one could watch about that, ie where to draw one’s pictures and how to manipulate them to the point where one could include them in one’s actual book. Many thanks. Keep up the great work.

Thank you, Bethany, your videos are very helpful! I have a question about ebook, Amazon needs Epub file, how and where (in which program) do you do your ebooks in this format? Thanks for your help!🙏

What do I do if the file is more than the maximum 650mb?
