Business book formatting


Format your business book for KDP.

6x9 in – Acceptable alternatives: 5.5x8.5 in or 7x10 in. All are KDP-approved trim sizes.

What we get right for business book

Pull-quote callouts

Larger-type pull quotes lifted from the body. Set with a coloured rule, indented block, or full-width banner — your house style, applied consistently.

Chapter summary boxes

End-of-chapter summary panels (“The 3 things to remember”) set as bordered boxes on print, semantic asides on EPUB. Renders cleanly across major Kindle apps and devices.

Frameworks as diagrams

Your 2×2 matrix, your 5-step funnel, your concentric-circle model — drawn vector-first, exported at 600 DPI for print and SVG/PNG for EPUB. Not screenshotted from PowerPoint.

Charts that survive reflow

Bar charts and line graphs rendered as SVG so they stay crisp at any zoom. Fallback PNG for older Kindles.

Endnotes vs footnotes

Trad business books use endnotes-per-chapter. We set them as a chapter-end appendix on print, hyperlinked superscripts on EPUB. Both link both ways.

Bio + speaking page

Author bio block, speaking-enquiry contact, link to your firm. Set up as discoverable back-matter so the book can generate leads.
