I’ve heard of plenty of people using the simple, automated process that KDP seems to expect by default, but to be absolutely sure that no issues will arise by the conversion process, I convert my Word file into an HTML file first. This will be vaguely similar to my Smashwords formatting guide, but simpler. In a book with Enhanced Typesetting enabled, Kindle readers can be sure that any text of any color that appears above any background color will be legible.I recently wrote a guide on writing a book, and in it I said that I would write a guide to formatting for KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). If the value of Y falls within a range of 102 and 153, this color will create a good customer experience across Kindle devices and applications. Enter the resulting three numbers into the following formula: Y = (0.2126 * R) + (0.7152 * G) + (0.0722 * B). To determine if a color falls within this range, use a tool to convert your color to RGB values.For grays, use colors within the hex value range of #666 to #999. See the W3C recommendation for maintaining a readable contrast ratio between text and background colors. Dark colors will not display well on devices set to black backgrounds. Light colors will not display with enough contrast on devices set to white backgrounds or on E-reader devices. If you prefer to use imposed font color in some sections of your book, do not use too light or too dark a color. Body text should not have an imposed font color throughout the book.This guideline only prohibits a book from being entirely bold, for example. Selected parts of the text can be bold or italicized for emphasis. Body text should not be primarily bold or italicized.Body text should not use the tag or the font-size and line-height attributes in CSS. Body text must use the default font size (1em) and line height.
