Building Your Book for Kindle Reviews
| 44 of 44 people found the following review helpful  Great for Non-Techies Who Write with Word, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Building Your Book for Kindle (Kindle Edition) When I decided I wanted to publish on the Kindle, I went to their very extensive information pages on self-publishing. So much information! I combed through a lot of it but still hadn't found everything I needed when this e-book popped up in my recommendations.This is a short and precise explanation of all a writer needs to know to publish onto the Kindle. It is all for Microsoft Word users - I don't know if they have another version for other word processing programs or if you could extrapolate from the Word instructions. I haven't actually published my book yet, so I can't say for sure how correct all the instructions are, but they are extremely exact: "Click 'Insert' at the top of the screen in Word...." etc. The book starts with a "Before You Write" chapter that tells you exactly what not to do while you're actually writing your book - things like, "Avoid using tabs and spaces to indent paragraphs and icons." It then proceeds to tell you what exactly how to...

I am guessing that the previous description would apply to 70-85% of those publishing on Kindle.But, what if you find yourself in a different group? What if your book is larger than a megabyte? What if your book is not just straight text, but uses graphics and tables intensively? What if you want to give your book a little spice by having certain footnotes point directly to text, and others pointing to a webpage? Well, I guess if you are in this last group, this is not going to be the book for you! That is why my review is 4 stars, not 5. So, if you find yourself in the first group, no need to read any more, but if you find yourself in the second group, read...

Being able to access it only onscreen is inconvenient when you're trying to format a book. Other than that, the information's succinct and simple to follow. Thanks for making it so easy. (And if I've missed something and there is a way to print this thing or save it in its entirety as a PDF, please let me know?) |
