Why files get rejected
Margins, bleed, interior design, image preparation, metadata, and platform requirements can all create problems when a book is built from an automatic export.
For a rejected publishing file
Understand why a KDP file may be rejected.
This page explains common reasons a file may fail KDP checks. It does not offer a file-rescue service, but it can help you decide whether a complete book-production process is the better next step.
Start Your BookMake the book useful
A focused book begins with the reader, the source, and one clear outcome.
Check the file before you keep fighting it
Review the requirements, the page layout, and the elements that fail in the platform’s feedback. Some problems are simple. Others point to a larger production issue.
How a finished book is built
Book formatting is part of the complete 20 Minute Reads service. The core project is a finished ebook (PDF), with publishing available as an optional upgrade.
Choose the next step honestly
If the file needs more than a quick correction, a complete book process may be more useful than repeating the same export cycle.
