So without further ado, take it away Paul…

He’s going to talk to you about three important things to understand about designing ebooks, so that we can raise the standard–reflowability of content, HTML and CSS, and what tools to use to make our own ebooks. I first learned about Paul Salvette at Lindsay Buroker’s excellent website and spent more hours that I want to admit to reading the resources he provides at BB eBooks. I’m not an ebook designer, so I wanted to bring you a post by someone who was. And for indies, well, the importance is obvious. You might be able to avoid that fate if you can talk intelligently to your editor and agent about ebook formatting. Your name is on the product, and people will give you poor reviews if your traditionally published book is badly formatted. While those of you heading down a traditional path might not think you need to know about designing ebooks, I disagree.

For that reason, I try to bring you posts that will apply equally well to traditional, hybrid, and indie authors.

I like to think my blog is a safe place where we can meet as writers regardless of the publishing path we choose. Tags: BB ebooks, Calibre, EPUB, formatting ebooks, Marcy Kennedy, mobi/KF8, Paul Salvette.Three Things Writers Need to Understand About Designing Ebooks
