*Though Amazon has claimed to accept final drafts in PDF, I don’t recommend you to do so. Otherwise, stick to MOBI is great enough. Since MOBI is Amazon’s Proprietary eBook Format and supported only by Amazon, you will need EPUB if you’re also self-publishing on others ebook stores such as Apple iBookstore. As far as I know, EPUB doesn’t get converted as well as MOBI by KDP, so make sure you double check your books using Kindle Previewer before publishing. You can also build your books in EPUB than MOBI format. prc files generated by MobiPocket Creator are no longer in use. It’s handy to distribute everything formatted nicely in just one ebook format. If you’re intending to send uncorrected proofs to your beta-readers before the books are available on Amazon, then build your books in MOBI format.

If your desired layout fails to be converted well in the ebook format despite having formatted everything correctly in the Word files, save and export the files in HTML format, then modify your HTML files. It’s easy to do and you will have your ebooks converted fine. If your books are text-centric and have no or little amount of images, build your books in Word format. However, for best results, Amazon recommends building and submitting your final draft in Word or HTML format.
