Thanks yes I picked up on the free status of the Calibre download, but to have my ebook on Amazon I would need a MOBI version at the outset?
EPUB publishing looks great - have tried snippets of the book + jpegs, all in Word [docx] & they upload nicely. Kindle-MOBI prefers Word docs
converted to html I read, which looks daunting - am html phobic
but apparently a direct upload of Word to MOBI will sometimes work. But it all looks a bit MOBI-iffy to me at the moment, so I will probably press ahead with the EPUB.
The thing is though I use Amazon UK all the time so it would be a shame not to be able to offer my ebook there if I can get it over all the hurdles in epublishing?
Thanks,
