5.0 out of 5 stars Stephanie saved my sanity 8 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I'm 83 years old, technically naive as far as computers are concerned,apart from using Word, and I decided to 'have a go' at getting my book 'The Tree That Walked' on the Amazon Kindle book list.
I bought a Kindle reader and half a dozen books which I hoped would help me to do it ... some chance; the first five were totally incomprehensible and it was only when I read Stephanie's words that the clouds began to part.
I'd originally allowed myself a week to get up an running on Kindle but, by slavishly following what she advised I was uploaded and accepted on Kindle in a day, with the bonus of being on the Smashwords platform which puts me out into the whole e-book market. Fantastic.
I strongly advise anyone wanting to 'Kindle' their writings to buy Stephanie's book. I did and it saved my sanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius! 8 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a gem. I can't believe how much information Is packed into it. I'm about to get 2 ebooks off the ground and was feeling daunted by the prospect. Not any more. Stephanie Zia has done all the hard part for me. Covering publishing across multiple formats and markets there's a step by step guide that I feel confident even a bit of a techno klutz like me can manage. Plus loads of top tips and links to advice. Unbelievable value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked for me 10 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
In the process of writing my first eBook (Swim Freestyle Well) for PDF, Kindle & Apple iPad iBooks 2. Downloaded several eBooks for research & guidance. Stephanie's offering is well written, contains masses of useful stuff, dead easy to follow & costs less than a cup of UK coffee. Highly recommended. eCommerce at its best.

Make Word's paragraph/spacing etc instructions VISIBLE ON THE PAGE. All you do is click on what Mark calls "the reverse P thingy" in your Word or Open Office toolbar (see how wonderfully non teccy he is?) and, hey presto, you can see where all the glitches and wrong spaces are and eliminate them. &quote;
