Kindle Previewer: free download, practical features

The central ability of the Kindle Previewer is to give you a preview of your eBook:

• This concerns first and foremost the formatting. Thanks to Kindle Previewer, you can see possible errors that may have occurred, for example, when converting Word documents to eBook formats.
• You can also check typesetting, typography, and layout.
• The preview by device type shows how your eBook will look on tablets, smartphones, and Kindle readers.

This makes Kindle Previewer very similar in principle to the preview option in Kindle Create and in the KDP backend; however, it is a slim, standalone program that specializes in this purpose. It's free to download, and the program exists for Windows and macOS.
