So let’s give a little thought to how this may impact eBook design. Some readers will now scroll through your eBook, whether you like it or not. This new feature is important to authors and publishers who use KDP for a couple of reasons. If you’d rather paginate your way through the eBook, just disable the Continuous Scrolling option and it will function just like it always has. In the settings, look for the Continuous Scrolling option, shown below for my Kindle Fire. However, now on supported devices it is possible to scroll down through a Kindle eBook just like you scroll through an article on a website online. When you changed the font size, line spacing, or read the book on a different device, the “pages” became significantly different. You used to paginate your way through a Kindle eBook by advancing onto the next “page.”īut Kindle eBooks also weren’t like print books. Some formatters used to say that a Kindle eBook is scrollable like a webpage.īut until now, that wasn’t quite right. NOW YOU CAN READ A KINDLE EBOOK BY SCROLLING DOWNWARD
