We have lots of authors here and people who are experienced with the technical side of the Kindle, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
No, I don't have a book of my own to publish (I wish), but someone has asked me to look into publishing something for them on the Kindle.
My questions:
- Is publishing a book on Amazon as easy as creating a Mobi file with Mobipocket Creator and then uploading it to Amazon along with a description, cover, etc.?
- Either way, how do I create a linkable Table of Contents with Mobipocket Creator? I can't figure it out.
- Also, is there any easy way to edit text and images in a Mobi file? Mobipocket Creator doesn't seem to have those options, or I appear to be missing them somehow.
- As for publishing through Amazon, is there any way I can see how the file will look without actually purchasing the book? Even if/when I do purchase it (and I will), I'd have no access to future revisions of that book if I need to make any changes (I'm hoping I wouldn't have to revise anything after, but just in case, I thought I'd ask).
- Any other general tips/tricks/facts I should know about? I want everything to look good right out of the gate.
Thanks in advance.
