File Names Are Case-Sensitive 6.11
Kindle books are case-sensitive. When referencing audio and video files within the HTML, be careful
about case sensitivity. (Example: “audiovideo/ThisFile.mp4” is different from “audiovideo/Thisfile.mp4”.)
To indicate a file in a directory, use “/” characters and not “\” characters. (Example:
“multimedia/ThisFile.mp4” is valid, but “multimedia\ThisFile.mp4” is not.)
Confirm Correct Mime-Type 6.12
When specifying video and audio files in the OPF, make sure that they have the correct mime-types,
depending on the extensions used. (Example: MP4 video files should have a mime-type of “video/mp4”
and not “audio/mpeg”.)
File Size 6.13
Limit the combined file sizes of all audio and video files to 600 MB or less for each title. If the files are
larger than 600 MB, manually transcode them to reduce the file size(s). (The total maximum audio/video
file size that can be converted from EPUB via KindleGen is 650 MB.)
Limit the number of individual audio and video files within each title to 1,000 or fewer.
Narration 6.14
Amazon does not currently accept any audio or video books with read-along content, which is defined as
someone reading the full text or multiple pages of text from the book in either audio or video format.
Table of Contents 6.15
All books must have a TOC that begins with "List of Audio and Video." This line should be bold. On the
next line, begin an indented list of hyperlinks to each audio and video file. The text of the link should
include the file description, with the file duration in parentheses.
Use these guidelines for all audio and video files longer than 10 seconds that a user might want to see
listed.
Here is an example of how the code below would display in the TOC:
List of Audio and Video
This is my video (5:01)
This is my audio (1:10)
This is the corresponding code for the example above:
<video id="video_1" src=" audiovideo//movie.mp4" controls poster="start.jpg"
title="This is my video (5:01)">
<br/><br/><br/>”There is video content at this location that is not currently
supported for your device. The caption for this content is displayed
below.”<br/><br/><br/>
</video>
<br>This is my video (5:01)</br>
<audio id="audio_1" src=" audiovideo//audio.mp3" controls title="This is my audio
(1:10)">
<br/><br/><br/>
