Common mistakes to avoid

Designing before the spine width is known

A page-count or paper change alters the spine. Set the production specifications before final alignment.

Putting important content outside safe zones

Keep titles, logos, and back-cover copy away from trim, fold, and barcode areas.

Using low-resolution artwork

Images that look acceptable on screen may print soft. Inspect source resolution at the final physical size.

Edge cases and final checks

Very thin books

The spine may be too narrow for readable text. Remove or simplify spine copy instead of forcing it.

Bleed versus no-bleed interiors

The interior bleed choice affects cover calculations. Match the cover setup to the exact KDP manuscript configuration.

Late page-count changes

Regenerate or resize the wrap after pagination changes, then recheck every spine and fold relationship.
