How to Convert Your Book to Kindle: Simple Steps for Non-Programmers

How to Convert Your Book to Kindle: Simple Steps for Non-Programmers
Contenuto dell'eBook:

This book you will show you step-by-step how to create a Kindle book using the text editor and graphics editor of your choice, and perhaps a free online converter. You don't need an actual Kindle device. And you don't need any out-of-the-ordinary software. Through a series of simple steps, you will not only convert your book for Kindle, you will also understand what you're doing, or at least have a serious clue, so that you have real control over your book.

Author Gayla Groom is experienced at converting books to Kindle; she is also a writer of instruction manuals, a book editor, and a page layout artist. That combination of skills means that you get a clear, accurate, well-written, and nicely formatted book that tells you how to create your Kindle book in a straightforward way and with a discerning eye for quality.

The information in "How to Convert Your Book to Kindle: Simple Steps for Non-Programmers" applies to both Macs and PCs. In addition to taking you step-by-step through the process of converting your book to Kindle, "How to Convert Your Book" also functions as a basic primer (suitable for complete beginners) on using HTML for Kindle.

Since HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the key to communicating with the Kindle processor — and thus controlling the Kindle process — you will need to learn a few HTML tags. It is not hard. Once you know some HTML, you have a lot more say over your book's Kindle destiny. You can actually make your book look nice. You gain maximum flexibility, and maximum protection against future changes in acceptable formats for Kindle books. And you have a better chance of being able to deal with problems or weirdnesses that come up.

Like that classic story of teaching someone to fish, "How to Convert Your Book to Kindle" gives you an understanding of the core tools — the core knowledge — to allow you to control your book formatting. It aims to give you the keys to the kingdom so you can easily build any kind of book you want (within the limits of the Kindle universe).

The step-by-step process in "How to Convert Your Book to Kindle" is so much easier and more pleasant than having to, for instance, download and learn to use various pieces of odd software, while figuring out wtf, and ending up nowhere. Following the simple steps of the conversion process in this book is so much better than groaning through Amazon's sparse and mostly lame online documentation, so much better than laboring through the Kindle books people will sell you telling you how they managed to wrestle their books into Kindle format, more or less, despite having no clue.

"How to Convert Your Book to Kindle: Simple Steps for Non-Programmers" offers a much more elegant solution than the usual bizarre advice on how to do it. More primal. More radical — back to the root — and thus, more universal.

The conversion process in this book is designed so that even someone who has access to only the most basic freeware text program and graphics program, and who has only rare internet access, can successfully convert his or her book. The author's intention is that that person — and you, whoever you are — can go through a calm, clear step-by-step process (which might even be enjoyable) and end up with an attractive, professional book for sale in the Kindle store.

If you want to have real control and understanding of the process of converting your book to Kindle, this is the book for you.
