CN Central: Is there a step by step guide on here anywhere about creating the e book version of a book?

    My second book LEEDS UNITED, LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL has been completed this morning and hopefully is now working through the CN system to become available with the on line retailers in due course.
    I very easily got the kindle version established with Amazon on their KDP site.

    I have started to create the e book version on CN but have a few questions.

    Firstly is it right that the picture in my portfolio has disappeared since I published again this morning?

    The kindle version has colour photos in it.

    Can the CN E book carry colour photos?

    If so is there a step by step guide as to what I do next? I understand I need to create a PDF version of the word file – is it as simple as that? There was a whole procedure supportingt he Kindle creation on the Amazon site and I cant believe the CN e book is so simple if that is the case!

      OK forget my question! Just realised that it uses the same file as the paperback and so I think I am done!
      Sorry!
      Just the query about why the picture of the cover on the paperback has disappeared in the my portfolio listing. Is that just a temportary thing becasue I have just made public?

      Hi David,

      I’ll have a look into that. At the moment I’ve set the ebook listing as the display edition so that it comes up on the search.

      Best,

    • Thanks Georgina. Is it possible for you to just check that all is well with the distribution process in that it has properly begun the “journey”. You may remember that last year with the first book we all sat back thinking it had happened when it hadn’t. I will keep checking my Amazon page to try to spot when it becomes available but would appreciate confirmation from your end that all looks well at this stage.
      Whilst writing, sorry about all the panic on the e book the other day….I was just floundering around and wasn’t thinking straight! got there in the end though.
      Best wishes
