Hi all,

I am 90% finished with my book. It is simple fiction. Nothing fancy in formatting at all.

I have used Scrivener to write it and it has been brilliant. However although Scrivener has a powerful compiler that does output for ePub or kindle etc. I am really really struggling with it.

Having done web design in Dreamweaver for several years, some years ago, I thought maybe Sigil is the job for me.

So I outputted my book from Scrivener in ePub format, where it joined everything up and put chapter headers in place, and opened it in Sigil.

Am I going to have to take any special steps to make it Kindle publishable other than convert it to Kindle format after the final ePub is edited ? Will it be more or less WYSIWYG ? I notice a lot of Scrivener code inside the ePub such as multiple classes.

And is there a manual somewhere ?

Tks
