    For Authors - eBook Formatting

    I've published eight eBooks (and print) and wow! The things I've learned.While Amazon is the "Big Dawg" on the block, their tutorial isn't quite complete. I learned more from the free Smashwords Style Guide. It follows the basic standards for ePub formatting, which works for Kindle and all the formats at SW (mobi, epub, PDF, rtf, lrf (Sony reader), PDB (Palm), and txt).
