Read via KU: As an author that has self published multiple books on KDP, I found the following sections of the book especially useful: How to optimize illustrations and photos and insert them into manuscripts correctly, how to use font families to produce a professional-looking book and what types of characters and fonts to avoid in order to prevent issues with certain digital reader devices and how to properly indent paragraphs.—Suzanne
Kindle Publishers who receive bad reviews must understand some of the mistakes they made. For many authors, the most difficult part of learning how to write a book is not writing the text, it is learning the rest of the self-publishing process. Writing words is easy. But, eBook formatting, adding illustrations and charts, proper editing and using the correct page layout can be extremely challenging for new authors. Most errors in ebooks are caused by a lack of knowledge of software, but especially by a misunderstanding of the impact of each action in converting a Word document to ePub or Kindle book.
In Kindle Publishing and Formatting like a Pro, the author discusses common book formatting, typography and font errors committed by writers and provides methods that authors in any genre can use to avoid those errors and how to self-publish Kindle books that readers will want to buy.
