For self-publishing authors: drop in your Word file, pick a style, and export a KDP-ready print PDF and an EPUB in minutes.
Free to try. Pro is $79 once, not a subscription.

"The best formatter only runs on a Mac, so I'd have to buy or rent a Mac just to lay out my paperback."
"The browser tools need the internet to import and export, and I can't use my own fonts."
"I publish three or four books a year. Paying every month for a tool I open a few weeks per book makes no sense."
The two-page preview is the PDF itself, so what you see is what KDP gets. Chapters open on a right-hand page, drop caps and running heads are set for you, and no paragraph leaves one line alone at the top or bottom of a page.
Every common trim size from 5 × 8 to 7 × 10 inches, bleed on or off, and an inside margin that grows with your page count: 0.5 inch for 151 to 300 pages, as KDP asks. A checklist runs before every export, and every font is embedded.
Start from four looks (literary, thriller, romance, non-fiction), then set chapter numbers, title style, drop caps or small caps, sink, body size, spacing, scene breaks and running heads. Bring your own .ttf or .otf fonts; Inkbind checks each licence allows embedding.
Save a series template and the next book gets the same fonts, trim and chapter openings in one click. Change the template and every book in the series follows.
Step 1
Headings become chapters; italics and scene breaks come across.
Step 2
Four looks to start, every detail adjustable.
Step 3
Flip the spread, then switch to the ebook view.
Step 4
A print PDF for KDP and an EPUB for every ebook store, built on your computer.
Inkbind for Android imports the same Word file, shows every page and the ebook, and exports the PDF and EPUB on the phone. It's free with ads: EPUB export is always free, and one short video exports a clean print PDF.

Five books in a series on Pro is $15.80 a book, once. You can also buy inside the app. Checkout by Lemon Squeezy; your licence key arrives by email.
Yes. Import, preview and export run on your computer. Only the one-time licence check goes online.
No. Your book never leaves your computer or phone. Projects are plain files in your Documents folder that you can back up.
Inkbind sets the trim size, bleed and inside margin KDP asks for and embeds every font, then shows the checks before export. You still look through KDP's previewer, as with any tool.
The import review shows every chapter it found, with word counts and anything it couldn't keep (tables and images). Change how chapters are found with one setting, or rename and leave out chapters.
No. Pro is $79 once for two computers, and you can move a seat to a new PC any time.
Not yet. Inkbind is for Windows 10 and 11, and for Android phones.
