There is a choice in the Output options at the top of the CircularFLO Preferences Panel. Check the Export Amazon ready file is set to 'yes' to export to an Amazon format.

Kindle Previewer 3 is required to convert to Amazon ebook files. If Kindle Previewer is not installed on the Mac when the CircularFLO Preferences Panel is added to a document, this option is set to no.

CircularFLO can output two ebooks in one export, one is an EPUB3 and another is an Amazon ready files to upload to Amazon KDP. We create a separate file for Amazon which is our recommended approach rather than supplying the same EPUB file to Amazon. There are differences and aspects of EPUB that are not supported in Amazon the ebook file formats so our Amazon output is tailored specially to the Amazon format.

The Amazon fixed-layout format is not a sophisticated as the fixed layout EPUB3 and does not support the addition of audio, video, animation or read aloud text highlighting so, if any of these CircularFLO Pro features have been added to a book, CircularFLO only produces the EPUB file and does not produce an Amazon file.

If you would like to produce an Amazon file of a book that contains these features, then we recommend saving as a separate file and either deleting or merging any layers that containing audio, video, animation or read aloud information and run CircularFLO again. You will not be charged more than once to make the same ebook.
