Volunteering for Gulf Specimen Marine Lab

Richard Gordon · 05-01-2011, 11:59 PM

I’m trying to learn how to publish Kindle books as a volunteer for the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratories (http://www.gulfspecimen.org/). This is a nonprofit organization in Panacea, Florida, USA, that teaches about 20,000 kids per year about the marine environment, with touch tanks for safe to handle crabs, snails, starfish, etc. They also deliver live marine animals to labs for research. The owners, Jack and Anne Rudloe, have written a number of books, and would like to get them into Kindle format.

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to create a bookmarked Table of Contents for their book Chicken Wars. Guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Yours, -Dick Gordon gordonr@cc.umanitoba.ca

I don't have the skill set to help you, but to start what format is the book currently in? The kindle Non-DRM format is Mobi, as such the folks in the Mobi forum could also be of great help to you. Another good source of information would be the Mobileread Wiki, this wiki has info on a wide variety of topics.

After you apprise us of the current state of the book I'm sure we can better help direct you toward a successful solution to your current problem.
