I want to be able to highlight passages and add notes using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I will be the only person ever to see the ebook.

What's the fastest and easiest way to create an epub for Kindle? Saving the *.docx file as text would require a day or three of plodding through this 248-page, single-spaced document just to add the paragraph tags. There must be an easier way, but what is it?

Thank you! - Dan Ford
Make sure the eBook is using styles and not a highlight and click something on the toolbar. Then use calibre to convert the .docx file to KF8 or KFX for your Kindle.
