The eBook is in a language other than English. Why don't I get an option to navigate by tables or lists for some books?

This feature is only available for books that support Enhanced Typesetting. Also, the options you see are populated depending on your book's content. If there are no tables in your book, you won't see an option to navigate by tables.

For a specific location, why can't I see the same content on Kindle Previewer and on my Kindle device? In a reflowable book, the content adapts to different screen sizes and font sizes. For example, as you change the font size on a device, the text you see in a given page might flow in to the next page.

For the same reason, there might be differences between the content you see in a given location in Kindle Previewer and on devices of different sizes. When I open my book in Kindle Previewer some part of the content goes beyond the margins and isn't visible.

This could happen if you use negative margins in your content. If that's the case, although the content is not visible on Kindle Previewer, it'll be displayed properly when the book is rendered on a Kindle app or Kindle device.

This can then be shared with your eBook designer to correct. Your eBook layout will never look the same as the physical edition.

This is just not how eBooks technology works. Print typically allows for precision control over the styling. This precise control is not possible with eBooks. But rather a benefit.

Struggling to wrap your head around the reflowable nature of eBooks? Think of how modern web pages shape to fit your screen. An eBook and a website use similar code under the hood. How then do you point someone to the exact location when you can no longer reference the page number?

When referencing pages in your eBook, try taking a picture using a print screen from your keyboard or even a pic from your phone.

Alternatively, share a few specific words of text for the other person to search for. Hey Designer Dude, please would you change the text from the first paragraph on the 3rd page.
