You're ready to upload your masterpiece onto Kindle. You have no pictures, no bells and whistles - why does it seem so complicated? For Text only Books - Everything you need to know for Taking Your Manuscript and Making it Kindle Compatible in Seven Easy Steps! Great for beginners overwhelmed with information, invaluable for the pro who needs a quick checklist. Learning ebooks was a challenge, especially for those of us who were at the very start of this huge revolution. We had no idea that it would bring in the revenue it has, grow as quickly at it has, and be as exciting as it is. We only knew that we owed it to our authors to cover every possible market and we were determined to do so, even if it meant learning a whole new skill set. During the course of this learning curve, I learned a simple truth: formatting an ebook for Kindle was nearly identical to formatting an ebook for Smashwords. The only real difference was that Smashwords required an ISBN (easily attainable from them for free or a small fee, depending on whether you wish them or yourself as the holder of record) and Kindle did not. To expedite the process, I came up with a bulleted list on my computer that boiled down to seven simple steps. It guaranteed acceptance into Kindle and into the Smashwords Premium Catalog the first time every time (making our ebooks available to just about every reading device known to mankind at any given time, including Nook and iBooks). About a year ago, after running across numerous complaints of frustration from independent authors over how to format their work and have it accepted for both Kindle and Smashwords, I fleshed out my bulleted list and offered it on the market as The Smashwords Style Guide for Idjits: Taking Your Manuscript and Making it Smashwords Compatible in Seven Easy Steps. I was surprised and gratified at the response it received. Every rating was five stars with numerous in-depth, humorous reviews where more than one reader now proudly claimed the title of 'one happy idjit' after successfully and easily formatting their work and having it accepted on the first submission. What I didn't realize, and should have, was that because of the title of the book, those independents most interested in submitting to Kindle were passing the book over, even though it had everything they needed to know to format their work and submit it successfully to Kindle. With these entrepreneurial spirited people in mind, I now present the revised version, geared specifically for submitting your work to Kindle with the bonus option of also submitting to Smashwords. I hope you find as much value in it as did those readers of the original.
