Correct Indentation
No more bad indents, lost paragraphs, or stray bullets.
 |
This actual example demonstrates formatting problems on a Kindle edition currently available for purchase. Many editions have problems like it, or worse. We know exactly why these errors occur and how to prevent them. |
Correct Spacing
No more random paragraph-spacing anomalies.
 |
It is remarkable how many Kindle editions have bizarre spacing anomalies like this between paragraphs. We studied them, tracked them down, and know why they happen. A Kindle Wizards edition doesn't have these errors. |
Squeaky-Clean Code
Impeccable markup for accurate display & portability to other platforms.
Web languages form the hidden document structure of Kindle ebooks. We leverage our deep expertise in web design and HTML to create code which is correctly marked, with every paragraph and element simply and accurately tagged, and all elements semantically valid. Together with our knowledge of the "secret" Kindle tags, we create Kindle books which are flawlessly coded, not only making them display properly now, but protects your investment for future devices, specification changes, and other platforms. Here is an example of clean, correct markup:
Compare this to the cluttered, proprietary code produced by automated tools and second-rate conversions. The problems with such jumbled markup are more than aesthetic. They reveal structural deficiencies which will create major headaches when attempting to revise, reformat, update to new Kindle specifications, or transport the book to other future platforms:
Even this actual Amazon-produced markup is rife with arbitrary line breaks, and so devoid of meaningful tags that it is useless for future releases or other platforms:
Device Proofing
We check every job on the actual hardware.
 |
Each conversion is tested on the Kindle device to verify everything displays properly, hyperlinks work, and all special elements are in place such as Table of Contents, cover, and start page. Upon request, we can also provide a file for you to test the book on your own device before deploying. |
Fast Turnaround
Three days from receipt of all materials. (For average-length books)
 |
From the moment we receive all materials--typesetting file/images/etc., we deliver the Kindle book in three days. (Of course, if you are submitting multiple books or unusually long titles, add an additional 1-2 days per book. We're wizards, not time travelers!) |
Proper Contents Page
Correctly-linked and nicely formatted Table of Contents.
 |
Some editions have an improperly-formatted Table of Contents, or if formatted well still not linked to the main Kindle menu, as in the example to the left. With Kindle Wizards, your Contents pages will be properly made and accurately linked. |
Chapter Headings
Attractive, readable, professional headings.
We bring our typography skills to bear in creating beautiful, readable, professional chapter headings. For a small upgrade fee we can add custom flourishes and graphics like the one above right for that memorable touch.
Proper Page Breaks
No more missing or badly-placed page breaks.
We use correctly-coded page breaks, along with extra HTML comments for future expandability. Nothing ruins an eBook like shoddy page breaks!
Match the Market
We understand the travails of the independent author. In the traditional book market, independent and self-published authors must struggle to match the production quality of mainstream publishers, and often compete for the same audience in bookstores with less-polished packaging and layout. However, with the Kindle ebook platform, you get the chance to level the playing field. Kindle Wizards will give you the same low price we give to publishers, and the exactly the same high-end professional ebook conversion. Stand out from other self-published or ebook-only authors with a Kindle edition that will draw raves for its production quality.
Why Kindle Wizards?
Amazon DTP automated conversions are notoriously problematic. Hover over the thumbnails to the right and see some more glaring examples of its shortcomings. Formatting is lost, layout scrambled, code messy and inadequate--many authors coming to the Amazon DTP platform find themselves spending days and even weeks learning the pitfalls and manually cleaning up their own work to make it presentable. Many give up entirely. Even for those who succeed, the result usually falls far short of what publishers are producing, and the book's reviews and ratings reflect it.
We have done all this hard work for you, and know how to produce your book fast and with beautiful results.
Can't Afford a Print Run?
No problem. Come straight to us and try your book out as a Kindle edition before risking the expense of a print run or on-demand production package.
The Kindle Wizard Difference
Kindle readers are a cutting-edge demographic. They interact with each other, and if your edition is not up to snuff, they will spread the word online, in the Amazon reviews, in their own blogs, and more. The built-in Internet capabilities of the Kindle make this even easier--readers can browse your book and post a review right from their Kindles, wirelessly and instantly!
The Kindle Wizards bring to bear over 30 years' combined experience in book production, and have produced everything from self-published fantasy novels to New York Times bestsellers. Our professional understanding of typography and book production is at your disposal as an independent author, and it shows in our Kindle editions.
The Kindle platform unites that expertise with our extensive web design experience. Because they are still books, eBook editions demand the experienced eye of a typesetter and book designer. Yet each Kindle edition, under the surface, is constructed using web-page HTML markeup and making a book with fine layout and typography requires web-language and web design expertise to accomplish. The Kindle has quirks, tricks, and proprietary markup that we know how to take full advantage of to produce the best editions on the market.
We are experts in both print production and web design. That's what makes us Kindle Wizards.

That’s what most content on my Kindle feels like today…cheap copies of the original. Quite a few books look like the print to e- conversion was done so haphazardly that nobody ever bothered to look at the finished product. (link to comment)
I've been holding off on the Kindle book until the price drops, but if they don't fix the formatting, I may not get it at all. I have seen this in a few other books, and it sucks. (link to comment)
I hold-up my plan to purchase this book because of the same double spacing format error.... I tried to read the ebook, but jus't can't stand it. (link to comment)
