PaperbackKit: Turn a messy Word manuscript into a print-ready book with AI

a messy Word manuscript into a professionally typeset, KDP-ready print PDF and an accessibility-ready EPUB3 — in about 5 minutes, no design software to learn. AI detects your chapters, cleans the structure, builds the table of contents, and typesets real book design. The EPUB ships with EU European Accessibility Act / WCAG 2.1 AA techniques baked in, plus a per-title machine check report. Free tools included: a KDP manuscript checker and an EPUB accessibility checker — no signup needed.

Hi Product Hunt! Solo founder here 👋 I built PaperbackKit after watching indie authors lose whole weekends fighting Word margins and KDP rejections. Upload your .docx, and AI does the typesetting: chapters detected, front matter built, and a print-ready 6×9 PDF + accessible EPUB3 out the other side. Why accessibility? The EU Accessibility Act now requires ebooks sold in Europe to be accessible — most back catalogues aren't. PaperbackKit remediates EPUBs automatically and hands you the compliance report. Everything is try-before-you-buy: the formatter and both checkers are free to test, no signup. I'd love your feedback — especially from anyone who has published on KDP or runs a small press. I'll be here all day answering questions!
