Word & InDesign to Kindle: A Professional Guide (English Edition)

Kindle Publishing with Professional Results... Now Updated to include EPUB Publication and much more! (v2.5.0)

Publishing books in Kindle format has never been a better option for authors who want to reach their market and audience as directly as possible. But the hurdle most author/publishers find the most difficult is actually producing a clean, attractive, well-formatted Kindle e-book. The web is saturated with resources and communities supporting this endeavor, but accurate, up-to-date and truly useful information remains maddeningly hard to find. It's even harder for authors and publishers who want to go beyond the basics and create something better than what novice tools or a simple conversion from Word can produce.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Publication

This new book is what you need to clear that hurdle: a comprehensive guide to getting from Word or InDesign to a thoroughly professional, craft-published result — even with complex material! Far beyond the basics of formatting text in chapters, this guide covers the details of illustrations, tables, lists, footnotes and more... all with the aim of a maximum-quality result.

Pro Techniques for Those Who Aim Higher

This is not yet another "easy ways to do it" quick-reference for authors, and it's not another "all in one" guide to self-publishing. It's a complete and focused guide to the most difficult, misunderstood step: the process and techniques that turn a live book file into a polished Kindle publication! And it's completely up to date, freshly written by an experienced publication designer, veteran publisher and award-nominated writer.

Technical Background Required:

While this guide is aimed at all serious Kindle publishers, some basic knowledge will help readers get the most from it:

• Using MS Word at a professional level (including styles) –or–
• Using Adobe InDesign as a publication development tool;
• A working knowledge of HTML and CSS document structure;
• And a drive to publish Kindle works with the goal of quality, not expedience!

Readers with less starting knowledge will find useful information as well, along with guides to acquiring those supporting skills needed to make the most of this valuable reference. Veteran Kindle publishers will find new insights and methods as well. No matter what your level of expertise, this is the guide every serious Kindle publisher needs!

New sections include how to use all the sophisticated techniques for optimal EPUB publication as well, a new reference to CSS keywords as they affect Kindle and EPUB output, and expanded information on using images.
