It doesn't provide any information at all on why the conversion failed. If the import fails it pops up a dialog box telling you to submit your Word file directly via KDP instead. It doesn't work with every Word document. (Amazon probably considers this to be a positive.) Likewise, if you want to revise the original Word document and republish you will need to redo all edits made with Kindle Create. That could be a problem if you want to publish the same book as an EPUB. Any edits and formatting changes made after import are only available in the proprietary format used by this program. The program imports from a Word document, but does not export. ![]() ![]() On the positive side it does seem simple to use and so could help someone who is trying to publish a book without having to learn a lot. I did some playing around with it and here are my first impressions. Instead of uploading a Word file and then having to download the result of conversion for testing, Kindle Create does conversion, previewing, and simple fix-ups all in one app. It seems that the intent of this program is to simplify the publishing process for novice authors.
