13 ideas
Make the whole book in one go, covers included
Today Paige draws the pages first, and the covers are a separate step. This would let you describe a book once and get the pages plus the front and back covers in one run.
Under reviewColoring booksFix part of a picture without redrawing the page
Today, changing a picture means redrawing the whole page, which uses a page from your balance. This would let you pick one area, such as a hand or a stray mark, and change only that.
Under reviewEditorTurn a photo or sketch into a coloring page
Upload a photo or your own drawing and get clean line art to color. Today a photo can guide a character in new scenes, but it isn’t traced into a page.
Under reviewColoring booksMore book sizes, including square, landscape and custom
Coloring books come in six portrait sizes and puzzle books in four. This would add square and landscape sizes, plus a custom size.
Under reviewPrint & KDPCopy a book to make a new version
Start from a book you’ve already made, for a new theme, a different size or a volume two, without rebuilding it. Today you can only duplicate single pages.
Under reviewEditorJournals, planners, notebooks and tracing pages
New book types built from ready-made page layouts, such as lined, dotted or dated pages, log books and handwriting practice.
Under reviewOtherColor-by-number, word art and mosaic pages
New kinds of coloring page: numbered areas to fill in, names or quotes drawn as art, and mosaic-style patterns.
Under reviewColoring booksHardcover cover files
Print files are for paperbacks today. This would add a hardcover cover wrap sized for your book, ready to upload to KDP.
Under reviewPrint & KDPRepair or resize a cover I already have
Bring in a finished cover, made anywhere, and fit it to a new page count or size, or check it against KDP’s cover specs before you upload.
Under reviewPrint & KDPPaste my own list of page prompts
Paste a whole list of prompts in one go, instead of adding them one at a time, and have each one drawn as a page.
Under reviewColoring booksRemove the background from my image
Cut out the background of an image you’ve added, so it sits cleanly on a page or cover.
Under reviewEditorWrite books in other languages
Choose the language for a book’s story text. Today Paige writes in English.
Under reviewStorybooksKindle ebook files
Print files are PDFs for paperbacks today. This would add an ebook file for Kindle, which would suit storybooks and comics most.
