Anyone else published on Kindle?

I've personally never found any issues with the Meatgrinder, except with their straight-HTML output. The .mobi and .epubs that I download from them always seem fine.

I'll throw my vote in for the smashwords style guide. here's a link: Smashwords – Smashwords Style Guide — A book by Mark Coker

I'm using a korean version of microsoft word (i don't speak korean), and i was still able to use this style guide to (of course) publish on smashwords, but also to publish on amazon. I honestly don't know what could be simpler.

I think you are lucky then...I had several places where font sizes would change for no apparent reason.

You have an account with Amazon and they pay you.

You have to set yourself up as a Kindle author/publisher which includes selecting the method of payment - paper check or eft transfer etc.

Hi,

I've had no problem pubbing with either kindle or smashwords. The secret I think is dump the formatting and stick to simple. I use word 2000, very basic formatting and no symbols at all. The text files seem to be no hassle.

Cheers, Greg.

I felt that smashwords formatting was easier. The HTML thing on Kindle got me by surprise.
However, I found a program called Kindle Writer. Has anyone tried it?
