I have spent the past year using three or four different programs/apps to format a single manuscript for upload to all the major outlets. Turns out I could have just been using Scrivener, which I also had but didn't like the output. Another Indie author recommended this book and in one sitting I have my presets for everywhere but Createspace, and that's only because I'm not printing this book.I'm slightly tech savvy but not the quickest to figure things out on my own, obviously, but the instructions were easy to follow. I opened Ed's book in my iPad, opened Scrivener on the Macbook, and went down the list. The only "fixes" needed on the first compilation were due to editing flubs I did on importing the Word file into Scrivener.I recommend this book for anyone who is formatting books for Nook, Kindle, Createspace, Kobo & iBookstore. I'm still fighting with Smashwords because I didn't follow Ed's directions (can you see why it's taken me a year to get to this point?), but over the course of the next few weeks I'm redoing all my books. It's so easy to update them, finally!If you're still reading this, you obviously don't know everything you want to know about formatting with Scrivener, so make it easy on yourself and just buy the book!
