Kindle e-book Formatting Q?

I'm talking about anyone that can answer questions about how to install an e-book on the Amazon site.

Not the method, but about the actual installation guide to publishing a book there, is anyone proficient in their software requirements, the formatting?

I've published three books using Amazon Kindle, including one non fiction, and two fiction novels. My two novels hit the Amazon top 100 best sellers list and stayed there for two weeks.

I'm currently working on my third novel.

What I've learned from writing and publishing these books is formatting for Kindle is easy if writing fiction. With non fiction, especially if you include photos, it is a bit more difficult.

Regardless of the type of book, I write using the free OpenOffice Writer (or Libre Office Writer) software, which I find easier to use than MS Word.

For formatting novels, I created a OpenOffice Writer template, which is optimized for Kindle formatting. With the template, you just write your novel,and then upload to Amazon.

You can find this template and a video showing how to use it at http://www.bmyers.com/public/Free_readytouse_template_for_writing_Kindle_Novels.cfm

I've also written many other how-to-publish articles with tutorial videos, and you can find them all at http://www.bmyers.com/members/department78.cfm
