As the name suggests, Kindle Previewer 3 is a Mac application equipped with various features that make it possible for the end user to view how their books will appear on Kindle once they are bought by the customers.
The application has a clean interface and it's quite easy to navigate through the menu. There are very few tabs and only a couple of configuration settings. It completely lacks graphical customizations as it would've been nice to have some background colors.
With Kindle Previewer 3, you can open various file formats, such as PRC, EPUB, MOBI, AZW, or even PDFs. It integrates a set of keyboard shortcuts, so it's easier for you to navigate through the pages and perform your desired actions.
Furthermore, it supports the latest typographic and layout improvements, thanks to the Enhanced Typesetting function. The improvements include better table formatting and font alignments, higher quality images, smoother word spacing, hyphenation, kerning and ligatures.
Overall, Kindle Previewer 3 is a reliable application to use if your want to see how your book will look on a Kindle.
