I bought this book half expecting not to learn a great deal. I'd already read several books on publishing on the Kindle and have published a few of my own Kindle books. So I was expecting a bit of a rehash. And I wasn't disappointed.The book is broken into 4 parts: Creating e-books, Formatting e-books, Publishing e-books, and Promoting e-books.For the intermediate publisher like myself, the most valuable part of this book is the promotion part. I actually did learn a few things I didn't know about promoting e-books. In fact, most of that section was very helpful to me.I am not saying I wouldn't recommend this book. If you are new to self-publishing, and particularly digital publishing, then this book would be extremely helpful. But it won't tell you everything. You should still read the Amazon and Smashwords publishing guides (in fact, the author tells you to do exactly that - and you should follow his advice). All of it.In short, if you know it all, don't buy the book. If you don't know much about creating, formatting, publishing, or promoting e-books, then this book will be helpful.
