Selling PDF on Amazon

Hello Team,

I hope you are well,

I've spent the past few weeks creating an educational eBook using Google Slides, with a strong focus on visuals to help illustrate the content.

Initially, I planned to sell it as a PDF, but I just found out that Amazon doesn’t allow direct sales of PDFs. Unfortunately, when I try converting the file to EPUB format, the results are… pretty terrible. The layout is completely broken, and the images and formatting don’t translate well at all.


Right now, I’m selling the PDF on Gumroad, but I would really like to publish it on Amazon as well.


Do you have any advice, tools, or best practices for converting a visually rich PDF (or Google Slides) into a high-quality, Amazon-compatible EPUB or MOBI? Or any other way to make it look good on Kindle devices?

You can publish and sell it via the kindle publishing platform of Amazon. That is how you are going to sell the pdf on Amazon. Try researching KDP Amazon on Google or ask Chatgpt. There is a little learning curve for this and it is not a get rich quick thing.

You can upload the pdf or word document into Amazon and it will be accepted. No need trying to convert before uploading.

I hope this helps. If you need any further clarification, don't hesitate to post here.
