If you don't live in the States and don't have a stateside address or bank account, forget it. and Amazon doesn't tell you until AFTER you jump through all the hoops. Scribd is the same problem, but at least they tell you upfront. So, If you're not a cit or living in the states, stick with smash and save the hassle; like we have nothing better to do... (sorry, but yeah I was pissed. 5 hrs set up 5 days back and forth and not a live body to talk to before i realized it was "Sorry Mate" and I'm a yank for chrissake!!!!) Ashly, have you seen Dan Brown's eBook? can you do that? I'm sure there's a way, and you would know. if so, pls contact me. jguevaranovels@gmail.com.
Ashley did a great job with my kindle book. I was on the down and outs and then bam, Ashley to the rescue. Thanks Ashes.
j, I haven't seen Dan Brown's book. What makes it so special?
Guido, the format reads like a regular book. But I found a great site that sets it up for you free, and simple. http://www.freado.com/book/5733/The-T.... That's my link, check it out. if you like, follow instructions. If i can, anyone can. Book Buzzr also does a bunch of free promo for you, like auto tweet, mktng links, sales and FB updates. don't know how they make any money, and didn't ask. But I've had more hits on it than anything else i've tried. j
Okay, I see, but that's not for the Kindle, though. This is just a browser-based application, right? Looking good, though.
Right. Kindle can't handle anything but Kindle. Don't know what Dan Brown does bout it. It's just a cool eBook. And the promo stuff with it is great. j guevara
Okay, that makes sense then. I was just confused because the original post was about Kindle layouts.
Hi - I am having problems formatting the book's item description on Amazon. I read a post in the Kindle forums that suggests you can use simple html tags, but when I tried updating the description via the KDP pages, all the tags were stripped out upon publication. I can see on other book pages that it is possible. Does anyone know how to make this work?
Yeah, using the guidelines from smashwords works beautifully on kindle.
Being a web designer I'm proficient in html/xhtml/css, all tools to format your e-book like you want it.
If you're interested contact me and let me know?
