Guido Henkel

Where I got the book: purchased on Kindle.

Guido Henkel did my ebook formatting but I bought his book so I could give it a try on my own—which he heartily encourages. And having read through it, I’m pretty confident I have the information I need to turn out a professionally formatted ebook. Henkel takes the reader through the various stages needed to produce an ebook free of errors and fit to display on any ereader, no matter how old. Which means, as you’d guess, that this is a back-to-basics approach that gets down to the html and css, and gives you clear and simple instructions on how to produce a straightforward fiction ebook with just a few little flourishes to make your chapter headings and such look nice. If you’re looking for instructions on how to format anything more complex than that, you might want to look elsewhere—or you might want to simply read this book anyway to get a grasp on why the ereader world really isn’t ready yet for the kind of snazziness you can achieve with print.

Furthermore, you get the lowdown from the point of view of both a programmer and a print fanatic, since Henkel is both. Having learned basic html years ago, I’m pretty sure I would have gone wrong with respect to sizing up fonts if I hadn’t read Henkel’s explanation of how to do it right.

My only gripe is that there’s no paperback version, because now I’m going to have to go through it again and write my own instruction sheet with just the bits of code I need for my purposes. Eh, that’s not such a big deal. This ebook is much easier to follow than Henkel’s blog, where for years he’s made this information available for free, so if you want to try your hand at formatting your ebooks I recommend making this very small investment in your business.… (plus d'informations)
