iTunes go!

iTunes - $2.99

I've learned a new skill in self-publishing. It took seven tries, but I've successfully formated the ebook version of The Many Lives of Inez Wick so that it can be distributed to iTunes, and soon, Barnes & Nobles.  

The ebook is almost exactly the same book as the print version. The exception is that the author bio and cover artist bio sections did not make it into the final ebook version. I'm not sad about the absence of the  author bio, but I wish that Bob Lipski's cover artist page would have made the cut - something about the image used. Bob is great. You should vist his website: Uptown Girl.  

The bigest hurdle was making my TOC with NCX. Yup, I did not know what those were, but I do now. Here are links to the documents that helped:
However, even after reading the guide and watching the video, it still took me a couple of tries. I've even, just now, discovered how to make good looking paragraphs, rather than just block styled paragraphs (perhaps for my next ebook venture).

But, it is done. I've converted the print book into a sexy ebook. 

Happy Reading!
