All you need to do is insert the illustration into your Word Document and then save it as PDF. A few things that you’ll want to bear in mind, though: Your illustration should be as high of a DPI as you can make it, ideally 200-300 dpi. (Anything less than 300 will probably raise a…
WordCrusher is PC only, but as a Mac user myself, what I did was run Windows on my Mac using Parallels, which costs about $80 but frequently goes on sale in various Mac bundles etc so you can usually get it for around $45, often bundled with other good apps. There are some other virtualization…
I haven’t personally used Overdrive yet; it’s on my list of things to do that just haven’t gotten done yet. I’ve looked into the process for putting books up; you can make them available in many different formats, be that PDF, mobi (kindle) or epub. Personally, I don’t think there’s a problem selling to libraries….
First, I’ll preface this with the knowledge that I don’t have any experience with alphabets other than the Latin one; in fact, I’ve only worked on a few books that weren’t in English (Spanish translations of English books.) For uploading to KDP Print, I’d always provide print-ready PDF files; if you can avoid the printer…
There is a difference between .doc and .docx files, but it is mostly a behind-the-scenes technical one that really isn’t too important for the end user. For compatibility with collaborators (other writers, editors, etc.) you should try to save your files in the more modern .docx format when given a choice. For uploading to KDP…
There are two issues here. First, if it doesn’t make sense to split up your books, there is no reason to and you should submit it as a single work. The beauty of a digital format is that you don’t have to worry about “bulk” when trying to read a long work, and you can…
If you use the text select tool, you may be able to copy and paste the text from the PDF into a word document. You could also try using a service such as Online-Convert.com or Zamzar.com – they will sometimes work a little better, depending on the document. If your book is appropriate, you can also use the Kindle Textbook Creator that…
We are currently working on creating a “theme” functionality for WordCrusher that will accomodate that sort of edit inside the interface, but in the meantime you’ll need to edit the source files and recompile the book if you want to change the default formatting. There’s a video in the membership area on the WordCrusher page…
It doesn’t matter if the book is created by KDP Print or not. If the book is amateurish and poorly constructed, it’s going to get bad reviews. If it’s a quality book, then people won’t even notice, it’ll just be the way that it is. Unless you smack people in the face with the “this…
This is another question where the real answer is going to be niche-specific. Just because people in one niche prefer buying kindle books doesn’t mean that even the same person wouldn’t prefer a physical book in another niche. That said, some broad generalities that I’ve noticed in the niches I’ve been in and that I suspect hold relatively true for most: It’s easier…
