review 1: "From Word to Kindle" by Aaron Shepard is a short but reasonably comprehensive guide to self-publishing on Amazon. Mr. Shepard offers a plethora of handy tips for formatting your document in Word, regardless of which version you have. His experiences in creating documents in Word for publication in a format Kindles can read has shown him many ways to simplify the process. Having never published anything myself, I cannot testify as to the efficacy of these tips, but they certainly sound helpful. I intend to try them out myself, just to see how easy/difficult it is to make something that will be readable on my several Kindles. I'll let you know what I learn! Of course, if I do publish something for Kindle, you all will have to download it so I can learn how it is interpreted... more by whichever Kindle or Kindle app you use! Don't worry, it will be free, if I have anything to say about it.
review 2: Note: This book is for intermediate to advanced users of Word.Aaron's advice is solid. It'll help anyone confused by the formatting issues caused by Word, html idiosyncrasies, or various versions of the Kindle reader. I learned a few things I didn't know, and I highlighted them for future reference. Although I watched for typos as I read, I couldn't find many.I disagree on a couple of minor points - a matter of personal preference. And I don't like Aaron's use of typographic devices or his practice of moving the table of contents to the very front of the book. He does present a convincing argument for both techniques. However, they produce a book that, in my opinion, doesn't look as professional as it could. less
