Can you do this on your phone? I have no labtop but I want to get started.

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

Hi! You will have to give it a try. It would be a little more difficult because of the small phone screen. I’m not certain how compatible the Canva program is with a phone. Let me know id you try it and if you can. People will sometimes as me. Wishing you the best!!

Do you have templates for landscape oriented books?

[@aliciaulabarro4559]

Id also like to know this

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

No I do not. I am sorry. I don't think Amazon prints landscape books.

[@yasminparveen9237]

How to change the dimension of the page like it's big in length I need a wider page not a long page can someone help ?

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

Did you get it figured out? Just now seeing this comment. You need the width of page to be the larger number.

What about the actual inside of the book? I need to mske one I can simply staple together but the page numbers are confusing

[@lilia-kiryukai-piratecrew-6954]

The dimension for my book is 149x210x18 so i'm not sure what to use

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

What is the dimension in inches?

[@kotoko-ki]

What size should i put for a book that i want to be 5.83" x 8.27"?

[@julielandon7736]

Hi! That dimension isn’t available in KDP. 5.25” x 8” is close. That book cover will be 10.975” x 8.25”

[@prudancelaclay2793]

If a book is 5 by 8, what would the dimensions be?

[@mirimariana]

I think you double the length since it has a front cover and a back

[@lotopain]

my cover keeps getting rejected, idk what to do did u ever run into that problem?

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

Hi ! Just now seeing this...I'm sorry. Did you get it figured out?

[@julieannealexandra]

hello if my book size is A5,what will the size be?

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

What size is A5? 5.8” x8.3”? If so I don’t think that size is supported by Amazon KDP.

[@analyst1777]

How do you put the book cover onto the template?

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

You will create the book cover inside of Canva. Do you already have a cover?

[@analyst1777]

@@FunAffiliateFamily yes. Amazon KDP said the sizing was wrong after I uploaded my book

[@Bitaskaco-Arlene]

How do u get bar code

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

When you publish your book, you either will purchase an ISBN or you can get a free one from KDP. They will furnish the barcode. You don’t have to worry about putting it on your book. You just need to leave that space available to put the code. But you do not put your own code there unless for some reason you already have one. That would be something you would get from the company you purchase your ISBN from. Most people do not have their own you just need to leave space there and delete the one in the template as it is just a placeholder to let you know where your barcode will be put by KDP.

Hi. Is this design size suitable for A5 book?

[@Inter_Messi10]

How do I print it by home

[@FunAffiliateFamily]

You can print the PDF pages in a home printer. But to have a paperback copy of your book you’ll need to publish with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Go to my blog publishingjourney.com to get a free self publishing guide to start learning how. I also have videos on KZbin channel Fun Affiliate Family.
