Mobi Machine (Your Kindle Formatting Butler) is the first of the three user manuals for Mobi Machine (the Nepo Press web-based book formatting system). This book focuses on how to make Mobi files (eBooks) for the Amazon Kindle and Kindle Apps, showing you everything you need to know to get started. If you want to create eBooks for the Kindle, this is the book to start with.
For making EPUB books (B&N, Kobo, Apple, etc.), start with EPUB Machine (Your EPUB Formatting Butler). These two manuals contain essentially the same information---once you have read one, you probably do not need the other. Pick based on whether your primary interest is Mobi or EPUB.
After you have read one of these manuals, you are ready to make eBooks, but you'll probably want to read the third manual, Advanced Mobi and EPUB Machines, eventually. It covers advanced formatting techniques including how to make "camera ready" PDF files for publishing printed books through CreateSpace.
For self-publishers, Mobi Machine hits the sweet spot with the best combination of high quality, low cost, ease of use, and flexibility.
What do you need? You need a computer with a web browser and a word processor or text editor and an internet connection and a Nepo Press book account. You don't need to install any software. Your same manuscript will work for Mobi files, EPUB files, and PDF files, giving you "one-stop" formatting with nearly instant turn-around. Format your books on your schedule, not someone else's. No limit to the number of revisions, so fixing typos or changing your list of "Other Books by This Author" can be done whenever you wish.
If you are using the Nepo Press service, or planning to use it, this is the "missing manual" to help get you oriented and up to speed quickly.
The trick is to add simple, visible markup to your manuscript then feed that to the Mobi Machine. The result is a professional looking eBook, without the formatting errors so commonly seen in self-published books.
