Just a quick post to let you know that ‘How to Print your Novel with Kindle Direct Publishing‘ [ebook version] will be free in the US from 12:00am, September 26, 2018 till 11:59pm September 26, 2018.
For the Eastern seaboard of Australia, 12:00am Seattle time [Amazon] translates to 5:00pm Melbourne time. So for us, it’ll be sometime after 5:00 pm tomorrow, Thursday September 26, 2018.
Gah…I hate timezones.
Now, the ebook uses a fixed format so all the pictures fit properly. BUT. That means the ebook will only work on:
…Fire tablets and free reading apps for iPads, Android tablets, smartphones, PCs, and Macs.
Sorry, but it simply won’t work on ordinary Kindles. I will play around with a different format, to see if it works, but I’m not holding my breath; Kindles are great for text heavy books, but I suspect their ability to ‘flow’ will cause merry hell with pictures…
Anyway, even if creating a paperback of your book is still nothing but a rosy fantasy, grab a copy of the KDP how-to for future reference. 🙂

We’re all in it together, and we learn from how we put in to the work of others – at least, I do!

Very true. I learned a heck of a lot about teaching adults during the last four years. [I volunteered teaching computer literacy to adults at a local community house]. Every single person had a different way of learning, and they all had a different ‘take’ on the material. That’s why the comments from all of you have been so very valuable. 🙂

I can recommend this beginners guide. I have used it to get a manuscript to a print ready point, with no trouble at all.
Well done Andrea. It’s good work.
