First, I will say that I have self published three books and counting, and until finding this book, I thought that Kindle and Nook did a fine job with My MSWord doc uploads. I thought that I was doing all I could in the way of marketing, I thought many things that now after reading this Navigating The World of E-Book Publishing by Deena Rae Schoenfeldt seem naive.The moment I clicked it open on my Kindle, I could see the difference in this book, and my book with regard to formatting. Such a difference that I stared each time the page scrolled at the way the words were not randomly spaced apart and instead filled the screen as pretty as a paperback.Then, I got down to reading and oh my word. Almost a year into self publishing the hard way, learning everything on my own, I thought I knew it all, but no. Deena Rae's book is filled with little known information, tidbits of advice, obviously picked up from years of working in the trade. Not only was there much information to be soaked in, but my brain was pleasantly sponging every little thing up because the book is written in a fun and engaging way. I read it in one sitting, and as my kindle can attest, any other tech book is rarely read beyond %40Upon finishing the book, I knew I wanted my books to be formatted in this way. As Deena Rae Schoenfeldt says in the book, authors pour their heart and soul into their  writing, spend hours upon hours making sure the words sound right, read right--why skimp on the way they look? I also began to tweak my marketing technique, conforming it to the helpful suggestions and over the last few days have watched my kindle rank improve. Just the other day, I received my files back from Deena and uploaded them to Kindle and Nook. I now have a book I can be proud of in every way, and intend to have all of them done by E-Book Builders.Props to Deena for putting the indie publishing advice and knowledge in an ebook format for anyone who has self published or is thinking about self publishing an ebook.
