Funny thing is, I've read some non-horror books that contain some of the most horrific scenes imaginable. Funny how the label has so much influence. Hi Brett,
I’ve heard that story and love it. Funny thing is, I’ve read some non-horror books that contain some of the most horrific scenes imaginable.

He then says "but I wrote those too!" And her response was "no you didn't", and walks off. Nice post, I sit with the same thing :) That reminds me of a conversation Stephen King talks about, where a lady came up to him whilst at the store and said something along the lines of “oh hi, you’re that writer who writes those horrible books, aren’t you?” and he replies with “yes I am” and she then says “why don’t you write nice books, like that Shawshank Redemption, or the Green Mile?” He then says “but I wrote those too!” And her response was “no you didn’t”, and walks off.

If it's a big-time author, it would sell, naturally. If there are issues well they can refund it or reduce the price. I wonder if Amazon issues refund for ebook formatting issues. --------------------- For those who would like to write an ebook, non-fiction that is, I find this modified snowflake method helpful: http://productcreationblog.com/419/how-to-plan-and-write-your-ebook-with-the-modified-snowflake-method/ It seems to me that those known publishers are not so concern about ebook formatting but the name of the author.

I have to say, after trawling the net for the clearest explanation, yours tops the list. As an author myself, I am trying to make my own books available to a wider audience via Kindle. I would like to ask you a question, if possible, and it probably sounds rather stupid. Do I double-line my manuscript before sending it to Kindle, or just keep it double-spaced the way I would send it to my publisher? Once again, thank you for your time on this. Very much appreciated.

I had been reading such mixed reviews about the device and about Amazon's customer service that I simply could not decide about the purchase. This review is for all of those people, like me, that cannot decide if they need a Kindle 2 for themselves. Well, struggle with the decision no more and ORDER IT! I am so happy with my Kindle 2 and I look forward to reading it every single day. All of the problems that I was worried about are not problems at all. Downloading books is easy, the screen is NOT too dark, the font size is adjustable and the Kindle customer service support is terrific. I had a problem with my Kindle 2 and I was instantly connected with the most helpful representative. I did not have to wait on hold and the problem was solved in no time. I have made the highest recommendations of the Kindle 2 to my friends and family and will continue to do so in the future. I can say with absolute confidence, if you order your own Kindle 2 you will not be disappointed!!! http://bit.ly/c96LEt I was on the fence for months before I finally decided to order my Kindle 2.
