Paragraph spacing adds white space and therefore increases readability. I – and I am sure the majority of readers these days – will disagree with that.

I still don't know how to change a Word document into a HTML document. I looked in the Word software and bashed my developer-licensed husband's brain against this, and we couldn't find it. I don't think not knowing how to do this on an intuitive basis equates to lack of concern for quality. Can you suggest a primer on how (step by baby step) to convert a Word document to a HTML formatted document? Thank you. I, too, am completely lost.

I've managed to get everything exactly how I want in my ebook, but I'm having one final issue. When I load the finished ebook onto my kindle, it opens to Chapter 33, instead of the first page. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my HTML or an issue with Calibre. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This guide has been an absolute lifesaver.

I've learned a great deal from reading your posts, but somehow I've lost my text indent which I set in the style as 1.5 as you suggest. By the time it gets to the body of my story, the lines are all flush left. What am I missing? I've tried for a couple of days to figure this one out, but there must be something very simple I'm overlooking. html, body, div, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, ul, ol, dl, li, dt, dd, p, pre, table, th, td, tr { margin: 0; padding: 0em; } p { text indent: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.2em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 2em; } p.title { font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 5em; } p.chapter { text- indent: 1.6em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 2em; margin-top:5em; margin-bottom:2em; page-break-before: always; } p.headline { text-size: 1.5em; text-weight: bold; } p.centered { text-indent: 0em; text-align: center; } span.centered { text-indent: 0em; text-align: center; } KLONDIKE JUSTICE by Jack R.

]]> Comment on Dear Amazon… here’s what I think of your Kindle Select program by Matt http://guidohenkel.com/2011/12/dear-amazon%e2%80%a6-heres-what-i-think-of-your-kindle-select-program/#comment-9460 Matt Thu, 03 May 2012 14:49:38 +0000 http://guidohenkel.com/?p=987#comment-9460 Susan, I don't think you read the terms very well. When you make a book free, you are agreeing to receive NO royalties. That is clearly explained. You receive a cut on BORROWED books. You can enter the KDP Select program and NEVER give your book away for free. You can keep charging whatever you want and you are allowing people to borrow it (for which you receive payment which has been over $2.00 per borrow for each of the past 3 months) in exchange for being exclusively on Amazon for 90 days.
