From Word to Kindle: Self Publishing Your Kindle Book with Microsoft Word
FREE
It’s not hard to find instructions for converting from Word to Kindle — but these instructions are usually less helpful than they could be. Many, for example, proclaim that Word’s HTML output requires extensive alteration and cleanup before submission.
This advice is misguided. Some who offer it have drawn their conclusions after simply choosing the wrong export option. Others fuss about a moderate amount of excess code, not realizing that it doesn’t increase file size enough to matter or that the Kindle ignores it anyway.
In this book, Aaron Shepard offers his own tips for moving your document from Word to Kindle. You’ll see the results for yourself, as Aaron’s book is produced with the same techniques described in this and his follow-up books, “Pictures on Kindle” and “HTML Fixes for Kindle.”
