Preview your book on different devices

What you'll do: see how your book will look on real e-readers, tablets and phones — and check the print layout — right inside Bookbndr.

Switch device

  1. Go to the Design step.
  2. In the Live preview, click the device button (it shows the current device).
  3. Pick a device from the popover. They're grouped into E-readers (Kindle, Kobo, Tolino…), Tablets (iPad, Galaxy…), Phones, and Print.
