Summary
Placeit has a large library of paperback, hardcover and Kindle device mockups plus editable book cover templates, all run in the browser. Downloads are PNG images (MP4 for video), so it does not produce the single PDF print wrap with spine that KDP requires for paperbacks; you assemble that elsewhere. It is a general marketing-asset site for many kinds of sellers, not a KDP-specific tool, and template quality varies.
