It seems my font didn't carry over. Plus there's a lot of detail about paragraph indents, page numbering, and other stuff that it looks like I have no control over in the method I've selected. It's not good enough that I actually finished writing a book....now I have to deal with all this. Ugh. I'll get there, eventually, but I wasn't expecting it to be this much of a challenge. I am grateful for your guidance.

Test your Mobi file in KindleGen Previewer and see how it looks in all the book modes (except iOS devices.) If it looks the way you want it to, go ahead and upload it.eBook Pioneershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12184172095559668451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715716360488809279.post-13976395140116050852015-05-25T17:07:45.432-07:002015-05-25T17:07:45.432-07:00So, I just used convertio to convert my .doc to .m...So, I just used convertio to convert my .doc to .mobi.
