Publishing on Kindle: Guidelines for Publishers iPhone application allow zooming and panning. However, reading experience degrades rapidly for very large line-art images. The following rules ensure a good rendering on all Kindle platforms for line-art images containing text: • The MAXIMUM image size is 500 x 600 pixels. This ensures that the image is not shrunk on a Kindle device, which could make the text illegible. • The MINIMUM size of text is 6 pixels for the height of a lowercase “a.” These rules limit the size of tables rendered as pictures. Larger tables should be reformatted. Example Images Description Image A table with line-art/text content rendered as an image. This GIF image is 317 x 233 pixels and 6 KB in size. The text is sharp and legible. The font size requirement is met (“a” is 7 pixels high). The same image with JPEG compression. Compression artifacts appear, making the text blurry although it remains legible. The size has increased to 17 KB. Kindle Publishing Guidelines Amazon.com 16
Description Image Bad quality: The image is blurry because of resizing and JPEG compression. The text is not legible. This will be rejected. Publishing on Kindle: Guidelines for Publishers An example of the largest acceptable table rendered as an image is given below. The size is 500 x 600 pixels, which is the maximum. The font uses a body size (height of an “a”) of 7 pixels, which is just above the 6 pixel minimum. The size of the GIF is 33 KB. Kindle Publishing Guidelines Amazon.com 17
