Converting Your Manuscript into a Kindle Book: Costs and Complexity
Turning your manuscript into a Kindle book depends on two key factors: how much you're willing to spend and how much complexity you're ready to handle.
With Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), you can submit your book in various formats like HTML (in a Zip file), Word documents, EPUB, and more. However, when submitting a Google Doc or an HTML file generated by Word or Google Docs, one of the biggest challenges is losing control over your book’s final appearance. Issues with drop caps, images, tables, and other formatting elements are common, leaving you frustrated when you can’t get the design just right.
You could try other software solutions, but they’re often expensive and hard to navigate. Hiring someone to format your book is another option, though that can be costly too.
Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a simple, all-in-one solution for converting your manuscript into a beautifully formatted Kindle book—until now.
That’s why I created Doc Book Maker over a decade ago and have been improving it ever since. With the latest version, I’ve finally achieved my vision of making Doc Book Maker a powerful and easy-to-use tool!
While it’s not perfect, Doc Book Maker addresses many of the challenges you’ll face with other solutions. It gives you just the right amount of control and walks you through a simple step-by-step process to transform your Google Doc into a professional-looking Kindle book or EPUB3 eBook.
