I have published five
ebooks.
The sidebar menu expands on the tools I have used to generate epub
format ebooks and mobi (Kindle) format ebooks for uploading to amazon.
Sigil and Calibre are widely recommended as the tools to use when
creating
ebooks, however, if you only want to publish for Amazon's Kindle
readers then just using Microsoft Word format may be sufficient.
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
guidelines
show what to do when using Word format. You cannot use TAB to indent
paragraphs and some formatting will not be converted. All paragraphs
are indented so you cannot use non-indented paragraphs to start
sections as is normally used for paper publications.
If you want to publish elsewhere in epub format then it may be best to
use
Sigil and
Calibre. See Initially on the
sidebar for creating your
book prior to using Sigil.
