After seeing a number of books on self publishing and formatting for 99 cents, I figured that one priced at $2.99 would offer more.  I was wrong.  While concise and clear in its instructions it simply didn't work.  At the end of Mr. Canyon's process I had a manuscript that would read on Kindle (or Mobi reader) just fine.  All the paragraphs were indented, the chapter headers were in place with page breaks, and even the quotes at the beginning of chapters were well enough in place that I could live with it.  The major problem was that all of my italicized text had been formatted to standard.  You know, the text that denotes thought and proper names of things like spaceships.  Gone.  There were some instructions on how to insert the code for italics in each individual case, which for me would have meant several hundred insertions by hand.  So basically I wasted several nights of frustration in my busy schedule accomplishing nothing.
