  I am not a techie. I dread learning new programs. I get easily frustrated reading most computer instructions. Yet I found this Guide easy to understand, simple to follow, and best of all, reliable in its results. I already had a good understanding of "styles" in Word, but other concepts were new to me, such as how to check for and eliminate extra spacing. If you have a relatively simple document to convert for Kindle and the other ebook formats, all you need is this guide and a couple of free hours to get the job done.
