[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 5833742, member: 5868"] So I'm working my way through Kindle and Smashwords now. Fairly easy so far. Some things I've learned: - Smashwords formatting is a little tougher to do than Kindle, but it's a good place to start. Once you format for Smashwords, formatting for Kindle is easy. Unfortunately, I did my Kindle format first :( - The Smashwords tutorial is pretty helpful. - The Kindle tutorial is good, but out of date (for example: you don't have to convert your .doc file to HTML). - Kindle takes 12 hours to publish; Smashwords a few minutes. - I'm having trouble with my cover in the Kindle format, so the 12-hour time is killing me. More to follow once I finally get everything set up and running -- I'll let everyone know if I succeed. Then maybe I'll look into print-on-demand. I've got to thank Shamus Young of [url=http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/]TwentySided[/url] for turning me on to this (he's publishing his new novel [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AKDFM8/ref=s9_simh_gw_p351_d0_g351_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1ME92TMSQJPW9VH8D5G5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846]The Witch Watch[/ame] this week).
