Kindle Saves You Time

Here is a nice interview with a Kindle user (on the indispensable Lifehacker), with some examples of how the Kindle can make life a little easier. Be sure to check out the YouTube video, which is a great introduction to the Kindle. I have even added it to the sidebar here.

At first I tried to format my Kindle book myself. I spent hours on it and still had a lot of annoying glitches, including an intractable problem with the margins. Joshua contacted me and reformatted the entire book in short order. He added some nice touches, like hyperlinks to each of the chapters, and cleaned up all the problems. And he did it promptly, accurately, inexpensively, and professionally.

I would highly recommend his services to any new Kindle author. You'll save yourself hours and many headaches. And the result will be much better than what you could do yourself.
