Hi, Michael, welcome to Mobile Read!
Your book sounds interesting; do you have any plans to offer it anywhere else than Amazon? There are loads of us who do not have Kindles (This is
not a Kindle forum; it is a forum for all kinds of ereaders including but by no means limited to Kindles.) and choose for a wide variety of reasons not to use the Kindle app or purchase from Amazon.
For example, Smashwords (
www.smashwords.com) will let you convert your file into all of the most common formats so everyone can enjoy your work. I honestly don't know much about that end of it, but there is a very active author's forum here, and I'm sure they will be able to answer any of your questions there.
