Notjohn\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe self-publisher's bible!\u003c\/b\u003e In this clear and entertaining ten-step guide, a prolific American author reveals how he formats his books for sale throughout the world. The secret is to use the universal \"epub\" format to create a single e-book file that will be accepted by every digital retailer, from Amazon.com through Barnes \u0026amp; Noble, the Apple iBookstore, and smaller booksellers like the Canada-based Kobo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Most beginners write their books in Word or Open Office,\" he explains, \"and they expect the same document to convert easily to an e-book and a paperback. Sometimes that happens, but more often it doesn't, because word processors litter the book file with hidden formatting. The result can be a disaster.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead, the book should be converted to clean HTML, the markup language used to create a web page. (All e-books are web pages at heart, and the Kindle and other e-book readers are just special-purpose web browsers.) The conversion takes seconds and costs nothing. It can then be plugged into a simple template that \"Notjohn\" includes in this Guide and makes available on his blog for anyone to use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf all else fails, there's Plan B\u003c\/b\u003e: a stripped-down template for books that consists mostly of text. He concludes with a chapter on how best to present your e-book on the Kindle platform, with hints on encrypting the book, copyrighting it, and pricing it for the greatest return.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised and updated July 2020 edition, with a new chapter on adapting the e-book to a paperback\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52695555473715,"sku":"9781539309154","price":21.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ckRDeDFZUDkydGlTeHJJeElpTy90dz09.webp?v=1763092746","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/notjohns-guide-to-e-book-formatting-ten-steps-to-getting-your-book-ready-to-sell-online-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
