Print package and phone companion
In the end you have a book you can hold in your hands. Spielbuchschmiede creates the print files, checks them against the print rules of Amazon KDP and packs everything into one package. You upload and publish it yourself with your KDP account.
Format and paper
You choose one of eight formats between 5 × 8 and 8.5 × 11 inches and the paper: white or cream in black and white, or white with standard colour or premium colour.
Checked against the print rules
Before the package is built, Spielbuchschmiede checks interior and cover: page count, page size, margins, image sharpness, embedded fonts, spine, bleed and the free area for the barcode. Every error is written as a complete sentence, for example how many pages are still missing.
The files
You download the interior and the cover as PDF files, plus a ZIP package with both files and the check report. Without a book licence you get a preview with a watermark, with the book licence you get the print-ready files.
The phone as a companion
A QR code in the book opens a page for your reader's phone. There they keep the stats of their character, draw random numbers and read messages you have placed in individual sections. They need no account for this. The book remains fully playable without a phone.
The step-by-step guide is in the help under Export and KDP package.
