The Kindle application can also be downloaded to most mobile devices, including i-Phone and Android, as well as computers and Macs.

How do we convert our manuscripts to the Kindle format and sell our e-books at Amazon.com?

Option One:  Writers can use a do it yourself script off the Internet or within the Amazon Digital Text Platform.  Most of these scripts are free or require very little capital to use, but remember we always get what we pay for.  Most people find that these scripts do not convert properly because of the complexity of formatting for all types of electronic readers.

Converting a manuscript on our own can be a very daunting task.  If we’ve attempted to convert our e-book and it’s just not working, why not explore other options?

Option Two:  Writers can have a manuscript professionally converted by Digital Content Center.  DCC offers professional Kindle conversion & formatting services.

These services include:

1. Converting all of the text of the manuscript to HTML Format (Hyper Text Markup Language).  This allows the e-book to be read almost like a website.
2. Manually integrating visual items such as images, graphs, and charts with the HTML.
3. Manually applying text formatting such as italics, bolds, and indentations.
4. Reviewing the e-book on the actual device by a human, not a computer program.
5. Correcting any and all necessary adjustments to the e-book once read on a Kindle device.
6. Repeating Steps 4 and 5 until the e-book renders properly within the Kindle reader.
