As we hear in the news every day, the eBook market is booming, and many writers are scrambling to get books ready for publication.
While we still maintain that it’s “easy as pie” to prepare your own books for publication to the Amazon Kindle, we also recognize that it does take a good deal of time, and many writers may find it more profitable to spend that time writing.
Therefore, CJ's Easy as Pie now offers services to help writers get their eBooks ready to submit to Amazon and other publishers.
Services that require advanced programming will be provided in collaboration with Araby Greene at Webbish Books.
If you’d like us to take a look at your book, please send us an email here:
cj-01@cjs-easy-as-pie.com
We will consider it carefully and give you a price based on an estimate of time required to complete your work.
We won’t be offering a “blanket” price list… each book deserves to be considered on its own… but our prices will be competitive with other established services… and we fully expect that we will do a better job.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteyour explanation on NCX file creation is supberb. One point though, if you paste the red part into manifest and spine, the really unaware will not realize that this results in two <\manifest>.
You do make it easy, but it leaves some careful scrutiny, which however is no problem.
For life of me cannot get the cover page to display in the previewer. Further, this .ncx file, though mandatory, is baffling.
ReplyDeleteDo I really need to learn XML and how to use this mobile creator tool in order to publish my book? It sounds like it basically just does what the TOC does...
Anyway, I can follow the tutorial and create a text .xml file. But no clue where/how to upload it. ?
Cannot get ahold of a human at Kindle to walk me through it. Would be seemingly simple to tell people to put bookmarks at each of their chapter headings (and other places you may want), and then create a text file with the bookmark names...and then feed that to a Kindle utility that creates the holy .ncx file and places it where it needs to go for us.
It is almost frustrating to make something mandatory but have nothing in place for how to do it, except if one has an html book that they are creating using some other tool. This .ncx stuff seems geared for html books.
I have a Word book that is uploaded online and apparently _incompletely_ converted into a book for me by Kindle...with no clues how to complete it with this process. There is no link, for example, for submitting a .ncx file. Instead, the previewer merely complains that you need a .ncx file.
Also am having difficulties with the cover page. One was submitted, but the previewer does not recognize there being one in the book file. ?
