My husband does my books and has used various ways to accomplish that. Amazon now has a place they offer to make print versions of your eBooks. What we eventually did was buy a Mac, which we never had wanted before, in order to use Velum. Velum does a nice job in making a book look professionally published. If a person can't do it themselves, then a system such as you found seems good-- a set fee. The one thing nobody should do is go to a Vanity press. They can lock up your rights, take part of the money and do nothing to get the books seen. What I've learned is, unless someone has a large community waiting for their next book, getting books seen is half the work of writing a book.

Hi. You blog post was extremely helpful. I have been looking for a solution to fill the CreateSpace gap. Can you tell me approximately how long ebook book took to complete the process?

Thanks so much

Tanela, i recall that it took a couple of weeks. It went quite smoothly. There were a few glitches in the final ebook, but nothing serious.

EbookPbook was one of the worst experiences I've had for a paperback. I paid $179 for a service that made bleeding mistakes, formatting mistakes and forgot to add a space between the words in my spine. Very disappointing service. And they refuse to give me a partial refund.
