There are two ways you can go about handling links and new content. If you want to make a change to your book, you never have to take a link down, you just upload a new version and it will go live as soon as it is approved by Amazon. The old copy will continue…
You have a few options depending upon the type of children’s book you are making. The easiest way is to follow Jay’s model…he has quite a few books in the “Fart Books” (and now the family avengers) series which is basically a chapter heading followed by an image followed by the text for that chapter…
You want to appear professional, and there are some standards that apply to the reading experience that may be little things in and of themselves, but readers will notice them (even if they can’t tell what it is they are noticing) and will be able to tell if a book wasn’t professionally produced. So, here’s…
Accented characters aren’t a problem with either KDP or KDP Print. For KDP Print, make sure that the font you are using is embedded into the PDF and it will definitely print just fine.

This is another question where the real answer is going to be niche-specific. Just because people in one niche prefer buying kindle books doesn’t mean that even the same person wouldn’t prefer a physical book in another niche. That said, some broad generalities that I’ve noticed in the niches I’ve been in and that I suspect hold relatively true for most: It’s easier…
You can make updates to the file the same as you would if they weren’t in KDP Select. You can even remove your book from being live and take it out of availability if you wanted, but whatever changes you make, you are still limited to keeping that book exclusive to Amazon for the 90…
