By formatting a different version, I was referring to creating a second file (.doc, .mobi, or whatever works for you) for the print book. This is because you will need to adjust margins, gutter, line spacing, add page numbers and headings, etc. Of course, you'll first need to decide what size of book you want. I usually use 6 x 9 inches, but there are lots of options to choose from.
What I'm saying is that you can't simply download the ebook file and expect it to look good in print. You'll have to do a lot of tweaking first.

Okay. Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I was glad to hear you say a mobi could be used because I don't have a .doc. I'm just going to have to wade into the process and find out what tweaking I need to do. All the information you've given me before going into it all has made it a lot easier. Thanks a lot.
