Help needed with e-book formatting.

Hello, internet world!

I have a short story that I'm intending to offer as a free download early next year, to celebrate the release of Discount Armageddon. This means I need the story to be in e-pub format. Anybody got the technical skills to make this for to go? I'll be your best friend, or something (or send you a book, whatever).

It's a pretty short story, about 7,000 words, and will have a cover and an internal dingbat for dividing sections.

ETA: While I appreciate the suggestions, if I had the time to do this myself right now, I would. I do not have time, so I am asking for help. Please stop suggesting ways for me to do it for myself.

Sounds like you have all the people offering to do the conversion for you, but if you need someone to test them on an iPad / iphone, I can do it.


EPUB = iPad/iPhone , B&N, Sony,
MOBI = Kindle (free format)

If you want to borrow instructions for people, Baen's Webscription site has instructions for loading them onto devices without using the stores.


As with anything, proofing the files is a... good idea. The little daemons in the computers like to get the best of us silly humans, and then daemon Murphy is particularly good at it.
