Online Reading (JavaScript) | View |
Kindle (.mobi) | Download |
Epub (open industry format, good for Stanza reader, others) | Download |
PDF (good for highly formatted books, or for home printing) | Download |
RTF (readable on most word processors) | Download |
LRF (for Sony Reader) | Download |
Palm Doc (PDB) (for Palm reading devices) | Download |
Plain Text (download) (flexible, but lacks much formatting) | Download |
Plain Text (view) (viewable as web page) | View |
But that's not to say that I didn't have to spend a long time preparing the document for conversion...it's vital that you get your word document right to begin with to guarantee good results with the target devices.
I have a lot of tips to do this, so feel free to drop me a line. My novel has now been accepted as a Premium
Status eBook, and therefore acceptable for the widest distribution.
Welcome to the eBook revolution!
