*** Excerpt from the book ***
I believe that you should always hire professionals to do the work you cannot do: if you are building a house, you should engage an architect, and if you are publishing a book you should engage a book designer.
The process of formatting a book for Kindle is more of a mechanical process than a design process. There are no visual design decisions beyond what can be summed up in a template that you can use over and over again for all of your books. Since the Kindle controls the way your ebook looks to a large degree, a Kindle book interior cannot be designed.
Do It Yourself Kindle Publishing walks you through a step-by-step process of producing your ebook and publishing it. I have now published ten books of my own in both print and as ebooks. They are all available on Kindle, and several have gone on to become bestsellers in their genres. I don't just write and sell books, I make beautiful books. Even an ebook can be beautiful, if you know how. I am ready to reveal to you the super-simple and easy step-by-step Kindle publishing process that I have developed over the years to produce a great-looking book on Kindle as fast as possible.
This book is a "cheat-sheet" for those who wish to prepare their own books for Kindle. It introduces some time-tested tricks for publishing well-formatted files that can be read easily on Kindle and other ebook devices.
