The Amazon Kindle eBook reader has quickly become one of the most popular eBook devices available, and many authors and publishers would like to sell their books to the hundreds of thousands of Kindle users. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information available on how to truly succeed in the development process. Amazon’s Digital Text Platform (DTP) website has some basic information, but authors and publishers are not usually well-versed in the technologies and formatting specifics that come with the Kindle conversion process.

This website serves as a resource for authors, publishers, and anyone else who is interested in publishing content on the Kindle. Whether you want to prepare your own books for publication or have me prepare them for you, my goal is to provide you with the answers you need.
For tips on how to format books for the Kindle, check out the Formatting section and the Frequently Asked Questions. If you are looking for help in any stage of your formatting process, take a look at the Services I provide. You can also learn more about my background or contact me directly if you have any questions. I post my thoughts and updates on all things Kindle-related on my Blog, so please come back often and add me to your blog reader.

Joshua Tallent's excellent Kindle Formatting service saved me days of frustration. I'm an author with intermediate computer skills, and thought I'd be able to tackle the Kindle techno-challenge myself. Wrong. It was important to me to have my book looking as perfect in the Kindle edition as it does in print, and despite my best efforts I couldn't master the little details—the ones that make a difference. Joshua responded immediately to my Email cry for help, and (after receiving a clean copy of my manuscript in word.doc form) completed the work in an hour and a half. Talent comes in many forms, but if it's technical Kindle talent you're seeking, Joshua Tallent is the man. He has a black belt in Kindle Formatting.
