I love your tutorials! You are presenting information you can't find anywhere else in a friendly, thorough, and easy-to-understand manner. Terrific stuff!

[@taraschubenko7952]

Your are very kind for putting this information on UA-cam ,,, it has helped me tremendously, since the internet people who sell their services are the pits!!! Thank you again.

I wish I had seen this video before I started editing books. I currently use Kindle Create, but I’m going to give Drat2Digital a try. Looks easy to use. Thank you so much!

[@Allpremiumvideos]

Beautiful I'm going to drat2digi💃💃💃

[@charlesarmstrong5292]

An excellent description and step by step guide Rich. However my book is 800pages long. I may not live long enough to edit it completely. Maybe I`ll get it published posthumously. 😜 I`m going to look for someone who can do this for me. It`ll be cheap at any price.

[@eli7692]

Rich, could you please advise on adjusting the formatting when Draft2Digital alters the entire layout that was set up in a Word document?

[@helenclairegould6580]

Very helpful, Rich, the only thing I would say as a UK author is, ISBNs are geographically based, so if you're a UK author you need to use your own ISBN rather than a US one or it won't be valid. I have a question about illustrations and tables etc: do you just include them in the text at the correct place? (I have used Kindle before and it has a different way of dealing with them.) 💖

[@missarlenes]

Any plans to make a DRM video for an ebook?

[@itsmepearly607]

hi! can i upload the same file to kobo? thanks for the video!

[@info_365]

What should be the default page size for a textbook in Microsoft Word, both for an ebook and for a paperback?

[@healerondemand3464]

Do you have a video for converting a novel. I wrote a Romantic Comedy ebook. It seems different than your book

[@elizabethviki1865]

Hi Rich. Please may you recommend a few people to format my manuscript for me for kdp. I am struggling.

[@OfficialParisMunir]

after creat apple id then i go to itunesconnect so its error come Your Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect.

[@mercedesaug]

You need to activate CC

[@alexmartin2191]

Create on Google Drive, then Drive can turn it into an epub file? Is that true?

[@alexmartin2191]

Best Buy deleted my Word when they fixed a bad chip in my HP laptop.

[@user-or7uy6in7z]

Just so you know, your information on how to convert a book into 'Epub file,' has been REMOVED! It's NO WHERE on-line.
