This guide is for people want to publish their non-fiction 'how-to' manual or compelling story as an e-book (and optionally a paperback book) at little or no cost, yet offer it for sale via online bookstores just like the big publishers do. "e-Book Publishing DIY" is aimed at Joe Public who wants to 'get the job done' without getting bogged down in the nuts-and-bolts details of e-book file formats. While the approach outlined here is primarily targeted at producing e-books in PDF, Amazon Kindle, and EPUB formats, in the final chapter I show how you can further leverage your e-book investment by publishing it in traditional paperback format... at little extra cost. Contains information on free-to-use on-line tools including Adobe Buzzword, the Microsoft Word Web App, Google Docs, Lulu.com, CreateSpace, and PayPal. |

Since the advent of personal computers, experts have predicted the paperless office, the rise of the electronic book, and the mass communication effect of the World Wide Web as the beginning of the end of the book. However, trends show that sales of paper increased with sales of computer networks - people have been trained to read books, and are more familiar with the act of picking up a book and reading than looking at chunks of information.
There are many publishing applications that enable you to create sophisticated electronic books and distribute your electronic books to your readers via the World Wide Web or electronic book reader with ease not seen before in the publishing industry.
Electronic Books and ePublishing shows you how to design electronic books using the book metaphor. The information presented in this book is a culmination of the author's experience as an author and researcher, and includes valuable information gathered through user surveys, user focus groups, usability testing and participation in industry groups and standards organisations. |

Those of you who are more technically savvy can use what you learn here as a foundation from which you can build more elaborate publications. For the rest of you, the steps described in this book will be enough for you to publish your ebooks quickly so you can spend less time on the publishing process and more time on writing quality books.

“PUBLISHING FOR DUMMIES”:
HOW to Write, Create And Publish Your Own Digital Book (E-Book) with Amazon
So
here's how to write and publish YOUR book... or perhaps that "great" American novel that lies slumbering deep within you
* or that of any other country
'They' say EVERYONE's got a novel in them...
And the reason your book hasn't been published , is simply because you haven't written it... YET!"
WRITING IN THE ZONE
"There is nothing else I do as well as driving a racing car. This is what I do best in my life, so the satisfaction I gain from it will obviously be the maximum."
- the words of Michael Schumacher
Hopefully ‘Schumi’s’ feeling will be the same for you .... whether in your writing...or any endeavour in life you may choose to engage. ENJOY!
“When you’re writing there are times when you feel it’s a bit of a struggle. However, at other times you’re in what is called ‘the zone’ and writing just feels effortless. This happens when finding the right words is no longer a struggle; but this heightened state, as with most crafts usually comes with practise. Then words simply flow into your head faster than you can write them down (or can press the keyboard). But you have to really push your writing limits to get this kind of experience. “
Then later you look what you’ve written and think: “Bloody hell. That’s good. Did I really write that? Wonder where all that came from!”
- A “nony-moose” writer
To the sounds of click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogPZ5CY9KoM
“Those who say it’s impossible, should stand aside and make way for those who say: ‘With the right will, commitment, dedication, persistence, courage and especially faith, one sunny day IT’ IS POSSIBLE’!

INTRODUCTION:
Got the idea for this short e-book at 4am Dec 11 2011 and submitted it to Amazon at 4.05 am and it’s already published today. Eureka!
If this “totally impulsive total non-techno dummy” can do it, ANYONE CAN!
This short digital book follows on from my other Amazon e-books, which tell the story of my writing journey... a “never-ending” story...:
I hope they may be helpful to you. Enjoy
Then things all changed, once I found out about Amazon digital publishing (perhaps I should writing ads, ha ha). Even someone, like me, who has no idea of layout and formatting, found it really easy uploading my various books (66 now).
So if I can do it, YOU can too!
Good luck and happy publishing with Amazon
Craig

Building an eBook is no longer the domain of computer geeks, html experts, php gurus, or the major publishing houses. Now in a few easy steps anyone with a computer and access to the internet can build their own eBooks. You don’t need to spend a lot of money. You just need to follow these easy instructions to get your eBook published and available to the widest audience.
Easy eBook Publishing leads you step-by-step through getting the software you need. I will step you through installing that software, formatting required so your masterpiece complies with the various requirements of the different eBooks formats, and finally transferring your work to the two major distributors of the eBook world (Amazon & Smashwords).
This book is especially for people who use Windows driven computers and Microsoft Word. I, and others mentioned above have found that the best tool to write your book is Word. There are other tools but nothing is easier and more efficient.
If you don’t already own Microsoft Word then you will need to get it in order to follow this book. You could try to use Open Office but I and many others have tried and failed. So if you don’t already own Microsoft Word please get it before you go any further.
You will also need the following freely available software:
MobiPocket Creator; to build the files necessary for upload of your book to Amazon.
Kindle for PC; to view your book on your home computer and allow yourself to make changes prior to uploading to Amazon.
Kindle Previewer; to view exactly how you eBook will look if you don’t own a kindle.
A text editor. I prefer WinEdt but you can use WordPad or notepad.
A screen capture program. I prefer Snagit, but you could use windows snipping tool.
Adobe Digital Editions; to view your ePub formatted files. (Nook, iBooks, pdf’s).
Calibre, to translate your work between all the different formats.
Just click on the links to go and get these programs. Then install them on your computer. If you need help setting them up you can find step-by-step instructions at my support site. You will need accounts at kdp.amazon to publish for Kindle and at Smashwords to publish for Nook, iBook, Sony, Diesel, Kobo and pdf.

We examine the time and effort required to get a traditionally published book onto the public bookshelf, in comparison to the ‘instant gratification’ of the e-Publishing industry.
We study the financial aspects and rewards of both processes, and look at the pitfalls of writing for the two, basically similar, industries.
We look at the process of actually getting your e-Project on line and into the face of your prospective customers.

Ever thought about writing a book? Now you can go from thinking about it to seeing it in digital print in a very short time by publishing your work as an Amazon KINDLE book. With over 700,000 books in the Kindle library and an estimated 5 million Kindle sold going into 2011, there is a huge market 'out there'. You can join in to this by using the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) program that provides a revolutionary method to see your work published almost immediately.
When I decided to take the opportunity to publish for Kindle, I found KDP to be a bit daunting as a first time user. I tried to try to get up to speed by purchasing several books written about Kindle publishing and KDP. Most of these books were helpful and while I got something from each one, I found that these books most often told me a lot more than I really wanted (or needed) to know to get my first book in print. Many of these "how to" books delved into working with HTML as being the important way to get one's book in the right format. I had already decided that learning HTML was one dog I wasn’t going to chase. The bottom line is I like to write and I don’t care to get into the technical side of publishing.
Well, the great “Type and Publish” program hasn’t arrived just yet, but between the latest version of Amazon’s KDP and Microsoft’s Word 2007, it seems close, and that is what this little book is about…publishing a simple book with relative ease using Word and KDP to get your work on the Kindle Bookstore shelf. I used Word 2007, but other versions of Word should work well too. The idea was to set up Word in a format that would allow me to type my manuscript/book so that when I finished, the basic format of the book would be ready for Kindle to format with a minimum of changes. I also noted things I needed to do and things I should never do to make this format work. The end result is what I call my "Kindle Shell." It worked so well for me that thought other Kindle authors might like to try it.
As a former military helicopter instructor pilot, I was often asked, “Is it hard to fly a helicopter?” My answer was an honest one when I said, “Not if you know how.” Kindle publishing is the same way; it’s not hard if you know how. Hopefully, this little book can show you how.
