How to Format an Ebook & Send Free Copies for Kindle

Formatting books is always some of the most frustrating parts of the self-publishing process. To help ease the headache, I created this video to walk you through how to easily format your novel for any ebook format. Also in this video, I'm showing you how you can take the formatted MOBI files you've created for Kindle and send them to anyone for free. This includes testing the file yourself, sending out advanced reader copies, or sending the book to reviewers.

Thanks a bunch. I'm still learning how to properly format the 2 books I self-published so I can put em up on Amazon. But formating them into e-books was freaking frustrating, even after I watched other videos on how to do it. But ur video made it simple and it worked. Tnks again.

Very helpful. Any way to send the book directly from Calibre?

Difference between manuscript and the actual chapter page?

Calibre has always been a little too basic for me :) When I tried it, it gave little to no control over how the book was divided into sections or over the advanced table of contents. It's quick and efficient, true, but so is uploading a docx file to Kindle and then downloading their mobi conversion. So I only use it these days for mobi to epub or epub to mobi conversions. If you're not Kindle exclusive and you format directly through Amazon's KDP dashboard, you can then simply turn that mobi into epub with Calibre, then submit the files everywhere else.

How many different free e-publishing/publishers exist? If I publish with Amazon am I restricted from publishing my ebook anywhere else? I'm curious about getting into this ebook writing racket.

Also, are you going to make a book trailer for She's Not Here?

How'd you get the about the author page on the actual back of the back cover?
