6 Audio and Video <strong>Guidelines</strong><br />
Currently, only Kindle for IOS supports audio and/or video content. Kindle e Ink devices and Kindle Fire<br />
do not support Kindle Editions with Audio/Video. To add audio and/or video content to your Kindle book,<br />
follow the guidelines and examples below.<br />
The file delivered to <strong>Amazon</strong> should be an EPUB with self-contained audio and video or a .prc file with<br />
self-contained audio and video. (If delivering a .prc, make sure the file was created using the latest<br />
version of KindleGen available from www.amazon.com/kindleformat).<br />
6.1 Embedded Video<br />
To embed a video inside a Kindle book, add a standard HTML 5 tag such as the following:<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
"There is video content at this location that is not currently<br />
supported for your device. The caption for this content is displayed below."<br />
<br />
<br />
• src tag: (Required) Identifies the embedded video file.<br />
• title tag: (Required) Identifies the description of the video.<br />
• poster tag: (Required) Identifies the placeholder image file. Users see the placeholder in the<br />
eBook before the video is played. The placeholder could be the first frame of the video or a<br />
representative frame, depending on your preference. (If this file is not specified, a blank black<br />
image is displayed.)<br />
• controls tag: (Required, unless you provide an image for use in starting the video playback)<br />
Tells the Kindle application to display controls for the embedded video.<br />
Note: The Kindle application may render a play button on top of the poster frame. It appears in<br />
the middle of the frame.<br />
• text content: (Required) Devices that do not support video content display the text between the<br />
and tags. If users view this eBook on a device that does not support video,<br />
