Kindle Optimization
Kindle upload for optimal viewing on the Kindle device including page breaks for all front matter and back matter, chapter division, and table of contents hyperlinks.
You will receive both Kindle ("PRC") and Apple iBook ("ePub" ) files (applicable fee.)
We provide Digital Rights Managed (copy-protected) and non-DRM version.
The book must be in Microsoft Word document. If it's in pdf format there is an upcharge of:
12 cents per page for PDF produced from a word processor
22 cents per page for PDF produced from mechanically scanning paper pages.
This is for "normal" fiction. See note below.**
Also, it is very desirable to send a high-resolution cover image (FRONT cover only!) so that it can be "Page 1" of the ebook.
For Apple iBook, it is up to you to create your own vendor relationship. To publish as iBook you will need a unique (additional) ISBN for the eBook that is not the same as
the printed book. This is not a requirement for Amazon Kindle.
Depending on the distributor:
*Amazon and Google don't require a unique eBook ISBN
*Apple iBook does require a unique eBook ISBN. (ePub)
FAQ:
Q. Does the book have to be already published by a publishing company?

Note: ** There are two types of PDF files:
PDF Normal files: (from which the text can be extracted, although this still requires additional work by way of formatting, aligning, style sheet etc. Sometimes, the text may require some bits of proofing as well for non-Unicode or special entities).
PDF Image files: These are essentially scanned books made available in PDF format. This requires OCR/proofing or keyboarding depending on the quality and resolution of scanned pages.
Fee - Kindle only: $0.90 per page
Fee - Kindle & ePub: $1.00 per page
I'd like to say that Reader Views' Kindle service is excellent! I've written seven books and am in the process of having them all converted to Kindle format because I believe it is the wave of the future for reading. It was SO easy to do and the service was complete in that I just went to Amazon and saw my book instantly displayed in the Kindle store with my cover art. Boy, what coverage! So, I ordered the service for the rest of my books!
