Michael Jasper's guide to creating and selling ebooks is an invaluable resource for anyone hoping to self-publish their work in digital format. His step-by-step approach to formatting a book for Smashwords, Kindle, Nook, Google eBooks, and other places is clear and concise. His advice on selling and marketing your ebooks afterward is eminently practical. Anyone hoping to jump feet first into the ebook revolution should do themselves a favor and heed Jasper's words.
