I like it, though I think I'll always prefer the print book. But we have to go with the times, and the economy. I can buy more books and read more with Nook than I can afford to buy print ones. I'm looking forward to reading yours, it looks like maybe soon? Looks like you're making great progress!! Congrats!<br /><br />I'm re-following. Blogger messed me up. Had to start a new blog, almost same title; imported the old blog but you lose your followers. There are some I don't want to lose!! So here I am, and will have to do catch up. You've got a lot of good info here about e-book publishing, so I'm glad I finally got over here!!!<br /><br />Have a great week!!!!<br /><a href="http://annbest-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-32736035554508068492010-11-16T16:32:27.997-07:002010-11-16T16:32:27.997-07:00Hey L'Aussie...the choices for e-readers just ...Hey L'Aussie...the choices for e-readers just keeps growing. I think whatever you choose will rock, but I would definately go with either the Kindle or the iPad, but that's just me. I'm glad you found the information useful.<br /><br />I'm glad your going to head over and read those two post Dominic. I was floored the first time I read them.<br /><br />As far as being useful, well, I think I have the instincts of a teacher. It gives me a lot of pleasure to help people. And, unlike some people who have this talent, I do know how to say 'no.' LOL<br />NRN. R.

But I definitely want to move in the e direction.<br /><br />BRW, latest figures from Amazon show that they are selling more e-books than paper. I still buy paper but I guess I'll give in to the inevitable but up til now I didn't know what to buy - Kindle, Nook, I've heard they're both great. Maybe an i-pad is all you need???<br /><br />Once again, thanks, thanks, thanks...hope I didn't interrupt your editing TOO much..:)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-72468305267776011142010-11-16T15:12:30.159-07:002010-11-16T15:12:30.159-07:00It's an interesting phenomenon.

While many authors can and do use others to ...Hi, <br /><br />While many authors can and do use others to format their books for Kindle/Nook/etc, you don't have to. It is fairly easy to do yourself. Just Google formatting word for epub and you'll find many guides on how to do it. Basically, you clear all formatting, then set your paragraphs to hang the first line, and then you use the Heading format to break your chapters. That doesn't sound that hard, right?<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />j.a. kazimer<br />www.juliekazimer.com<br />http://thenewnevernews.blogspot.com/J.A.
