Went through this somewhat drastic method of stripping files of their formatting. It works well, and I reccommend the method to ebook publishers who are struggling with the conventional way of getting published.

Emma has done a fantastic job of converting and extremely complex and confusing chore into a step-by-step process.
If you're planning on publishing your own eBook you owe it to yourself to get this one.
Thank you, Emma!

This is an outstanding guide to Smashwords. I was getting pretty frustrated until I came upon Ms. Porter's book. Highly recommended.

A useful description of the process the covers, with step-by-step instructions. Especially useful for people wanting to submit their ms to Smashwords when they have done their original format for a print book. Clearly explained, easy to follow.
