Kindle Embed problem with graphic novels, illustrated books #28480

Open glennhauman opened 3 years ago

glennhauman commented 3 years ago

The Amazon Kindle block doesn’t show previews for graphic novels, childrens books, or other heavily illustrated books. Texts work just fine.

Is this addressable? Is it due to the type of ePub that’s used by Amazon? In short, what the heck can we do about this?

You can see examples of it not working on this page:

You can also test it for yourself by using the following Amazon ISBNs:

Kindle Previews are working in my testing now - so I'm going to close this ticket.

But they AREN’T working for graphic novels. That’s what I’m pointing out.

Try embedding https://www.amazon.com/Once-Future-Vol-Kieron-Gillen/dp/168415491X/? into a Kindle block, try Free Preview, and see that it returns "We're sorry. This preview is unavailable."
