I'm not spectacular at reviews, but I had to take a stab at this one. This book is all you'll need to self-publish your ebook to Amazon. It's short, simple to follow, and, I sweear, will make your manuscript look professional and polished for Kindle. Don't waste your money on high-priced self-helps and, I hate to say it, but those who charge outrageously to do this for you. YOU can do it yourself with Nadia's fool-proof instructions.

Nadia nailed the basics when it comes to formatting your book for Kindle. A straightforward, easy to follow guide that every self published, or traditionally published author should read.

Finally! My page breaks happen where I want them to! Thank you.

Note: Consider using http://word2cleanhtml.com/ checking all but the tab box, and ignoring the div tags when you cut and paste your clean HTML. Seems less of a headache than the method you discuss in Third edition for getting clean HTML.

Thanks again!

I was skeptical about this guide going in, but a friend recommended it to me. I'd been using a variety of methods to get my books formatted and was irritated at how long everything seems to take. But this guide is awesome - I was able to get three books formatted in a few hours and uploaded without much trouble at all. I will be using this for all future formatting. :)
