Visual adjustments

This indicates whether your eBook allows readers to modify the appearance of the text and the page layout. Readers can make modifications, which can increase readability and make it easier to comprehend the text.

Kindle books come in two different formats:

• Reflowable Kindle books. This allows for the modification of the appearance by adapting to Kindle device's screen size and reader's chosen font and layout settings. Learn how to Prepare Reflowable and Print Books with Kindle Create for an optimal Kindle experience.
• Fixed layout books such as print replica, manga, comics, and some children's books or textbooks. With this format, books preserve their layout and structure and don't allow for visual adjustments.

Nonvisual reading

This indicates whether all content required for comprehension can be consumed in text and is accessible to users of assistive technologies. Some examples of compatible assistive technologies include screen readers and refreshable braille displays, typically used by people who are blind or have low vision.

The text of most reflowable Kindle books is accessible. However, when your eBook includes non-text content such as images, photographs, graphs, tables, or videos, textual alternatives may be required for comprehension. Without the textual alternatives, the book won't be considered readable for assistive technologies in read aloud and braille.

Textual alternatives could include alt text, extended descriptions, transcripts, and captions. Currently, print replica and image-based fixed layout Kindle books aren't readable in read aloud and braille.

Note: Print replica and image-based fixed layout Kindle books are not readable in read aloud and braille. Compare Formats to help you determine how to prepare a book for an optimal Kindle experience. Kindle books do not currently support closed captions in audio/video content.
