Pagination

Order all page numbers sequentially, with even numbers on left pages and odd numbers on the right for the left to right content, and with even numbers on right pages and odd numbers on the left for the right to left content. You can use Roman numerals to indicate the beginning of the manuscript, and then continue with standard page numbering. You may continue page numbering from a previous book in a subsequent volume of a series as long as the series name and volume number are clearly labeled. We allow scanned content with sequential original page numbering clearly visible in the footer of the manuscript file.

Was this article helpful? Yes | No The survey is hosted by Qualtrics, so you'll visit their site to fill it out. We only print spine text on books with more than 79 pages. Text on larger spines must be sized to fit the spine, with at least 0.0625" (1.6 mm) of space between the text and the edge of the spine. Every book varies slightly when bound. Allow for 0.0625" (1.6 mm) variance on either side of the fold lines for your coverYou can upload a cover with or without a barcode. If you choose not to provide your own barcode, we'll automatically place one on your back cover. Learn more about barcodes. We require single page files (as opposed to spreads or 2-up files).Set the page size to your selected trim size (width by height).Minimum resolution of 300 DPI. There is no set maximum DPI for images, however, images with excessively high resolutions may result in files timing out during processing, or may cause manufacturing delays. We recommend a maximum resolution of 600 DPI, to keep your total file size under 650MB.We’ll calculate your page count based on your manuscript file, rounding up to an even number if necessary. The minimum page count is 24 pages, and the maximum page count depends on ink, paper, and trim size options.Based on your book’s page count, the minimum margin requirements are below:If you‘ve selected black ink and white or cream paper for a book containing gray backgrounds, we recommend a minimum grayscale fill of 10%.If your book contains lines (i.e., a chart, table or graphic element), give the lines a minimum thickness/weight of 0.75 point or 0.01" (0.3 mm).For most languages, KDP only supports books formatted to read from left to right (LTR). Currently, we only support right-to-left (RTL) paperback printing in Hebrew, Yiddish and Japanese. To learn more, see our supported languages All pages and content must be oriented the same way. Pages can contain some upside down text as long as the rest of the page contents are right-side up (e.g., a book of riddles with answers printed upside down on the page).
