Publishing on Kindle: Guidelines for Publishers

8.5.2 Using the display:none Property with SVG Images

The SVG image format is supported in KF8, but not in Mobi 7. With the display:none property, you can

use an SVG image for the KF8 content and a JPEG image for the Mobi 7 content, as shown in the

example below.

Example:

.defaultcontent

{ display: block; }

.mobicontent

{ display: none; }

@media amzn-mobi

{

.defaultcontent

{ display: none; }

.mobicontent

{ display: block; }

}

</svg>

8.5.3 Limitation on Using the display:none Property

Kindle limits usage of the display:none property for content blocks beyond 10000 characters. If the

display:none property is applied to a content block that is bigger than 10000 characters, Kindlegen

returns an error.

9 Kindle Best Practices

Testing Kindle Books 9.1

There are three ways to test your Kindle book before adding it to the Kindle store:

1. Use the Kindle Previewer. You can test your EPUB file using the Kindle Previewer software,

available for both Windows and Mac OS X. The Kindle Previewer allows you to select views that

represent the different devices including Kindle e Ink, Fire tablet, Kindle for PC, and Kindle for

IOS. For installation instructions, see section 2.2.3, Kindle Previewer Software.

2. Use Kindle devices and Kindle applications. You can test KF8 content on a Kindle e Ink

device or a Fire tablet.
