what are BEST kindle book specifics?

Hi BJ,

I just saw your PM. One of the great things about he readers is the ability to change your font size. If you submit your book in a doc format or html they will be able to do this. If you submit your book in a pdf they will not.

Therefore I recommend submitting your book in a standard font and size. I always use Times New Roman, 12 point, with one inch margins. As long as you submit your book in html or doc format, your readers will be able to change the size.

One thing to consider, and this from my experience. People who read physical books come in all shapes and sizes, and all different educational backgrounds. Their reading skills come from all levels.

Those people willing to shell out a couple hundred dollars for an electronic reader, are probably voracious readers. They will not waste time on a poorly formatted or edited book. The worst part is the reviews they leave. They are much more picky than your average reader. I have found that they will leave one positive review of a Kindle book for about every 500 books sold. However, if a book is really bad, one in three will leave a negative review.

Always preview your book after Amazon converts it. I had a book turned to gibberish once in the conversion process. Within a short period of time it had negative reviews and the title was worthless.
