Make A Small Poetry Collection For Kindle Scribe

I wanted ten approachable poems on my Kindle Scribe, not ten browser tabs or a PDF with tiny fixed pages. A small EPUB was the better format.

My version has:

  • a table of contents
  • one poem per chapter
  • reflowable text that follows the Scribe’s font settings
  • full text for public-domain poems
  • reading links for copyrighted poems

That last distinction matters. Eight of the ten poems could go directly into the EPUB. “Still I Rise” and “The Peace of Wild Things” stay as links to legitimate online copies.

The result is a focused collection I can open from the Kindle library without turning it into a large ebook project.
