The Amazon Kindle is the bestselling eBook reader in the world. It’s also the bestselling item on Amazon.com. But did you know that you don’t need a Kindle e-reader to read Kindle eBooks? Before I tell you about this, let me explain a few things. First of all, Kindles can read books in the Kindle, PDF, and a couple other formats. They cannot read books in other eBook reader formats. This is done intentionally in an attempt to prevent you from reading the competition’s eBooks. Amazon does not want you buying Barnes and Noble eBooks. They only want you to buy Amazon eBooks. This is the same for Barnes and Noble and Apple and pretty much anybody that sells eBooks. Their e-readers will read the standard PDF format and some other formats not specific to anyone else’s e-reader. But nobody wants you buying the competition’s books What I find amusing about this whole issue is the fact that you don’t even need an e-reader to read these eBooks. Amazon tries so hard to keep you from buying the competition’s books. They also try hard to keep you from reading your Kindle eBooks on anyone else’s e-reader. They do this by publishing their eBooks in proprietary formats that only their devices can read. But then what do they do? They turn around and write an app (software program) called the Kindle App, that can run on any device except the competition. This Kindle application can run your Kindle books on your computer, smart phone, tablet, iPad, or any other device; just as long as it’s not the competition’s device. What does this mean to you? It means that if you don’t want to buy a Kindle, or just don’t want to buy one now, you don’t have to. You can buy all the eBooks you want from Amazon without laying out the cash for the Kindle. This is very handy if you don’t like the current model of Kindle or you have some other device that will work already. Personally, I’m waiting for a color Kindle. Not like the Nook with the color LCD screen. I mean one that uses color e-paper, just like the current Kindle uses black and white e-paper. Color e-paper has been invented and works, it’s just not in production for low priced consumer models yet. Anyway, back to the point at hand. Now here’s another thing you might not have known. Pretty much everybody else has an App too. So if you have some Barnes and Noble eBooks, you don’t need a Nook to read them. You can download the Barnes and Noble app and read those books anywhere you want. Except of course, on the competition’s e-reader. I have an iPad as my eBook reader. Prior to buying it, I tested the Kindle and the Nook. I purchased eBooks for both of them. Now I have the Kindle and the Nook apps on my iPad so I can read all my eBooks regardless of where they came from. Now here’s my last treat for you. Did you know that you not only don’t need to spend money on a Kindle, there’s a good chance you don’t even need to spend any on the books! I’m not suggesting theft, piracy, or anything illegal here. The truth is, there are millions of free eBooks. The last official count I was able to find was in 2008 when there were over 1.8 million free eBooks. These were not all Kindle books but the total of all free eBooks available online. There are many free eBooks available offline too. Like at your public library. Many e-readers have the ability to read the format used at public libraries. According to Amazon, there are over 950,000 free kindle items just on their site. This includes books, magazines, newspapers, and blogs. That’s enough to keep you busy for a long time! Many of the free eBooks on Amazon are publications in which the copyrights have run out. This makes them public domain works which is why Amazon can give them away for free. Another source of free, public domain books is Project Gutenberg. They have over 36,000 free eBooks. These are old classics that were originally published by reputable publishers. Since the copyrights have run out, they have been able to scan the original books and offer them online. They offer their books in many different formats so you can use just about any e-reader you want. You can visit their website by clicking. Going back to Amazon for a moment, I should mention one more thing. Amazon’s free eBooks are not just limited to public domain works. They constantly have specials where they offer books by today’s authors for free. For example, I wanted to purchase Steven Pressfield’s book “Do the Work.” When I arrived at Amazon I was surprised to see that the Kindle Edition was actually free. The hardcover edition was around $13.00. As of this writing, they are both around $6.00. So if you visit Amazon fairly often and watch closely, you could accumulate quite a library for not much money So there you have it! Now you can have an entire eBook library without having to spend a dime on an e-reader.

Many Kindle Books I have purchased seem to have DRM on them so when I want to have them read aloud on my android device I must use a text to speech app that will copy a chapter or several pages and paste it into the app like “Read Aloud” and read aloud those pages. However about 80% of my Kindle books only allow me to copy and paste from 1 to 4 pages than a note comes up saying I cannot copy and paste beyond the amount I have chosen. (I already have a Kindle App on my Android). I have tried using Accessibility functions but they are often “crippling” in the cumbersome way they function and require multiple hard pushes on the screen to get a response and often found myself “locked out of my own android” trying to negotiate their reading of a Kindle Book without DRM interference or restrictions. My friend has an iphone and the accessibility functions work in less threatening manner. Does there exist a Voice Over App that will read my Kindle books on my Android that will not limit my reading to an Accessibility App or DRM constraints or will it be necessary for me to purchase a Kindle Fire Device or iPhone to read my Kindle Books aloud without DRM or Accessibility Functions hindering the entire process? Hi Tom, Thanks for your comment! I have not done much with trying to do what you’re trying to do. However, I suspect this difficulty is intentionally built into our devices in order to encourage us to buy the Audible versions of our Kindle books. Audible now interacts beautifully with Kindle. When you purchase a Kindle book, and the Audible version of that book with the same Amazon account, a player bar appears below each page of your Kindle book. All you have to do is click the play button below the page and it starts reading to you. This happens regardless of what device you read and listen on, as long as you’re using the Kindle app. It also highlights the words on the kindle book as it reads along, and keeps everything synced to the page you last read. I know this is not helpful if there is no audible version of a book, or if you don’t want to spend the extra money. But it is a great feature and works very well. And avoids the headaches you mention in this post. If I come across another solution that works the way you’d like, I’ll add to this reply. Thanks again for your visit and comment! I like the facts, they were more understanding, everyone want to keep their costomers eyes and patriotage to themselves. But I ordered a kindle fire. Nice and empressing. This may sound crazy. I wanted a reader for my Bibles,strong concordance, dictionary, and about (6) game. Study notes, journaling. But mostly lots of reading. I didn’t want to bring my big Bible to the lake. Just wanted something smaller, and nightlight build in. I can’t make up my mind. I want to read the bible no matter where I am. On line or off. _______________________ “I just finished reading your eBook. It was unbelievably helpful. I loved how you broke down each piece step by step with very clear instructions and pictures. Just awesome for someone who needs things spelled out in plain Englishlike me! It is really very well done and I know once I sit down to do my free offer ebook in the next couple of days, I will have it done and ready to post in less than a few hours. I am so excited!! Without this, it would have taken me days when you add in the research, times I got frustrated and had to move on to something else, and all the hiccups I probably would have run into. Thanks for putting together such a helpful product!” Randi T. Munns, Health Coach, ________________________ “Your eBook is extremely easy to understand and very helpful. I have put off doing an eBook because I felt it was just way to complicated. But with your step by step instructions, I feel I can do this with no problem. I encourage anyone who is thinking of writing an eBook but feels overwhelmed by the process to definitely get your eBook. I believe it will save them a lot of headaches. I just loved it!

The book appears too ambitious, with too many aspects covered, and it somehow misses its objective, which is, obviously, to become a reference work. Its qualities: both accompanying CDs boast a high-quality content, plenty.

They have transformed the tumbling satellites into a tenuous, yet ingenious, settlement known as the Rubble—and have come face-to-face with a Covenant settlement of Kig-Yar... Yet somehow survived.

The company has is now selling these books for $9 on the Kindle and Nook and for a very interesting reason: the goblins at Gringotts realized Pottermore didn’t have much money left. Harry Potter ebooks have long been part of Kindle Unlimited but this move opens ebooks sales to new services. Pottermore launched in 2012 as a digital home for all things Potter. Interestingly, its biggest parter was Sony, then quite active in the reader space. As points out, the company licensed the branded, offered a Harry Potter-themed area in Playstation Home and gave away free Harry Potter ebooks with the Sony Reader.

This month’s theme for The Hustle is people who game the system. This is the first of the weekly series. The Secret World of Kindle Gold Rushers So there’s a group of people who make a living churning out dozens of lowbrow Kindle books a month. I call them Kindle Gold Rushers. Some of them make hundreds of thousands of dollars selling ebooks on niche categories. In this week’s story, we hear from one of the top selling Kindle Gold Rushers. He’s 26 years old, sells 6,000 books a month, and nets $150,000+ a year. On the surface it’s a badass story of success: a young professional quits his job, becomes a self-published author, and earns six figures per year. Except for one thing: he doesn’t actually write the books he publishes. Instead, he has a team of outsourced writers and creatives who pump out dozens of books a year to game Amazon and dominate various book categories. Part of me (about 95%) is disillusioned by this story, while the other part is pumped. One of my favorite books is. Henry David Thoreau locked himself in a cabin for two years to create this masterpiece. That’s badass. But then, to see the guy in our story make a ton of money selling “eh” books, the hippie inside me thinks that’s f-ed up. But the capitalist part of me? A successful landing page is particularly focused on whatever product or service you are offering, with the end goal being a sale of your ebook to the customer.

He’s jacked up and already scheming a way to become a rich as hell Kindle “author.” But hey, there’s plenty of room in this world for both Hoobastank and The Beatlesso who am I to judge. So here it is, without further ado: one man’s story of how he became a Kindle Gold Rusher. Note #1: To prove just how easy it is to game Amazon, we spent a week using the tactics learned in this interview to create our own best selling Kindle book. We’ll announce the hilarious results in next week’s post. To be notified when that post is ready, enter your email below. Notes #2: We don’t reveal the author’s identity on purpose as to not screw him over. The Strange Life of a Self-Help Author Before my life as a semi-famous, best-selling self-help Kindle author, I was an corporate cog in the wheel with a meaningless graduate degree. I was grinding out 70 hours a week in an office with no sunlight, focused on becoming a senior associate and eventual partner. By the time I was 24 years old, I was bored and unhappy. Something had to change in my life. After reading an article on Kindle authors and how their income was pretty much passive after the book launched, I thought, “What the hell. Maybe I should give writing a try.” After checking out the in the Kindle store, I noticed how godawful the writing was. I couldn’t tell if someone had outsourced their book to a non-native English speaking writer (which is common), or if it was actually someone’s legitimate effort at a book. I was shocked that anyone (a) put this stuff for sale, and (b) the books actually sold. For example, here’s an excerpt from a top-selling Kindle book: “The way that we must use coconut oil is to use it with the best of intentions. If you do not, you will not benefit fully from usage of the said coconut oil. Were you to not use or eat the coconut oil, don’t worry there are many more uses for the coconut oil you will see!” Clearly the bar was low. I knew I could kick their asses even without experience writing and publishing a book. How I Wrote My First Book Before writing, I created a three-page outline based on the tables of contents I had seen in other books. My first book was 18,000 words (40 pages). It was on how to be more persuasive, something that I know quite well. It took two weeks to write. Since it was non-fiction, I didn’t have to fact check or cite anything/anyone, which was one of the reasons it only took two weeks to write. That’s the beauty of writing self-help books (and why it’s easy to game) – there’s never really a wrong answer. After writing the draft, I had a cover made on. A graphic designer in the Philippines created what I wanted for $5. Then I uploaded the book to the Amazon Kindle store. 11 copies sold the first month and 30 copies the second, netting 35 cents from each sale. The sales came organically from the Amazon search. Not much, but I enjoyed the prospect of being a published author, so I kept writing. After all, whose first effort ever hits the mark? I applied everything that I had learned about the process to my following books. Believe it or not, these are all top sellers Making the Paper I wrote 8 books within a few months, all on similar topics. Two of them were each making $1,000 a month, and I was netting over $4,000 per month from Amazon. I literally did nothing to get a sale after the initial writing and launch. It was a fucking gold mine. I wasn’t even working hard on them. Plus, since Kindle sales are all about the cover and book description, I studied copywriting, which helped a ton. Oh, and the content is important too (kinda) My progress was pretty fucking amazing (I’m just as shocked as you are), but I was spending a ton of time — about two weeks — writing and editing each book. I’d heard that a ton of other Kindle authors hired ghostwriters so they could churn out a dozen books a month. To scale up my process and start making real dollars, I needed one myself. You’d be shocked how many of your favorite authors use ghostwriters (). And after looking at some of my reviews, I can see why it works. The Secret to Making $10,000+ a Month: Ghostwriters Surprisingly, I found my ghostwriter on the spammiest forum on the web:, a message board for sketchy internet marketers. I tried eLance and Craigslist, but Warrior Forum was the winner. I was only making $3000 a month, so I couldn’t afford a premium ghostwriter, which costs around $1000 per book. Plus, the actual writing wasn’t that important. If you look at my Amazon reviews (the real ones, not the ones I paid for), people don’t give a shit about the writing itself, as long as I show them how to solve the problem they have. I auditioned 8 writers by sending them an outline for a book. They sent back 2,000 word essays. The person I chose deviates as he pleases to fit his vision of my outlines, which I like. He has great English, can fill space (which is all I need), and most importantly, he lives in the Philippines, which means he’s cheap. For $150 per book, I send him a 2,000 word outline and 7 days later he sends me a 20,000-word book. I spend about a week editing those 20,000 words It’s that easy. I make (net) around $1,000 each month per book. Again, I know what you’re thinkingtoo easy. Plus, having a ghostwriter allows me to publish books on virtually any subject. For example, after noticing a hole in the DIY market, I wrote an outline my ghostwriter turned into a 40-page book on gardening that started selling really well. At this point I’m an outline creator, cover designer, copywriter, internet marketer, and editor. Do I know anything about those topics? Hell no — but I make a hell of a lot of money pretending I do. Plus, even use ghostwritersit’s just one of those dirty little secrets. How to Come Up With Book Ideas I’ve made thousands of dollars selling books on topics I’m clueless about. Hell, I have a best-seller on gardening, an activity I’ve literally never done. These books are only about 20 pages and simple to create. I find books that are selling well, check out their tables of contents, look at the negative reviews to see what they missed, and then do a little research on the web. I create a 20 chapter outline, filling each chapter with 4-5 bullet points about main ideas, angles to explore, and specific things to mention. Once I have an outline, I send it off to the ol’ ghostwriter. One week later, I get my manuscript. Of one of my outlines. If you want to make a lot of money gaming Kindle, the book’s content is the least important part of the process. My books don’t always hit best-seller status, a mostly dubious term, but the vast majority do. Replicating other people’s success is the best way to guarantee it. It only took a few months to master the self-help market, so at this point I just make what I know my audience will buy. By the way, when that they are a best-seller, it technically means that they have reached the #1 spot in any category, no matter how small. And they are usually tiny categories, and only for a couple of hours. You can sell, or even just give away, 50 books and BAM — best-seller. There’s even a nice little “best-seller” badge that you can find on Amazon that many authors paste onto their book cover after the fact. Makes you question when someone calls themselves an “expert”. Preach, baby. Creating The Outline and Cover My covers are actually almost universally praised, which is hilarious to me, because they all cost $5. Thank you Fiverr.com. This means that my first few books, before the ghostwriter, cost literally $5 and my time. Covers do, however require a good eye for design, which I’ve developed by scanning through the Kindle store for hours a day. You learn what catches people’s eyes in an instant, and what marks a poorly selling self-published book. The key to creating a cover is bold lettering, strong contrasting colors, and a sexy image. I don’t get clever, I just make the thumbnail stick out. Amazon is the platform for impulse buys. These days, it costs me a $5 cover and a $150 manuscript from my ghostwriter to publish a book – not a bad margin. How to Game Reviews On Amazon, reviews are king. After publishing a book, Amazon gives you the option of giving it away for free for up to 5 days. This is when I used to send the book to 20 friends to review. I’d write each review for them, so all they had to do is copy and paste. This worked well, but it was also a pain in the ass, so I recently started paying someone to find reviewers for me. I found my fake reviewer on Craigslist after I posting an ad looking for a content writer. He ended up being a part of some kind of review circle that I still don’t really understand, but I pay $3 per review that he gets me. However, there are that do this. Do I directly pay for positive reviews? Ehh, it’s a thin line, I pay people to “read” my books and hopefully they’ll review it. The reviews just always happen to be positive. Get You Some It’s probably important to mention that I’m one of the best Kindle authors. If I make it sound easy, it’s because I kick ass at the processes required to market a book. Plus, I don’t give a shit what people think about me and have no problem creating smut. So I guess that helps. Thousand of authors have tried to do what I have, and failed miserably. I’m not being arrogant about it, it’s a quantifiable fact.

We have a lot to learn from them and, fortunately for us, they were kind enough to offer their advice. I believe in learning from those who have gotten the results you’re looking for. And these people have gotten great results. 14 Invaluable Tips For Writing Ebooks That Sell 1. Lisa from: “Take the time to survey your core audience to ensure your book meets their needs. We often assume we know what people want, but you never really know unless you ask. Prior to writing my Book, I used my email list to survey my subscribers. The feedback was invaluable and inspired much of the content in the book. Not to mention, it’s a great way to win over your readers. You deliver.” 2. Steve from: “Ask your audience what type of ebook they would like before writing one word of your ebook. I have made the mistake of writing an ebook, thinking, this is a great idea my readers will love this, only to find that they didn’t love it. The ONLY way to find out what type of ebook your readers will like is to ask them. You can do this in a blog post, an email to your subscribers, or use social media better yet ask them using all three. Another thing is, make your book look fantastic. Presentation is everything and you want to give a professional looking ebook with a great cover. A lot of ebook creators write their book in a word document and turn it into a pdf without much thought for presentation. In this day and age of information overload, you need a great cover to catch the readers eye, a great title to capture their imagination, and a great presentation on the inside. It’s well worth spending a few hundred dollars to get a professional to once you’ve written it. One last thing, get someone to proof read your ebook. Again, I’ve made this mistake of not getting an ebook proof read only to find I get lots of emails pointing out errors in my book. If you don’t get it proof read it shows you’re not willing to invest that little extra to make it look and read great, and this will come across to the reader.” 3. Farnoosh from: “I have written 7 e-books to date with contributions to many others. Some are free for download, some are for opt-in and others are for sale on my website on my own site and also on on the Amazon Kindle store, thanks to my husband’s professional help with formatting and producing them for Amazon and my excellent designers help with some of the books. My advice to you is not technical. It is deeper. Why are you writing your book? What is the core purpose? Do you have a compelling message to tell the world? Do you want to make money and have an extra source of income? Do you want attention, notoriety, or the ability to tell others you have written a book? Do you want a sense of accomplishment? Get seriously clear on your purpose so that you work to meeting that end goal and not be chasing every other reason out there to write an ebook that may or may not speak to your true reason. When you are clear on that, you will write your very best book. If you need a nudge, come talk to me. I’ll help you get clear. All the best and happy writing!” 4. Michael: “I’m sure others will talk about how to create the ebook or get the sale. I want to talk about what happens after the sale because of course you will sell SOMETHING. So here it is: Focus on buyers, not freeloaders and not tire-kickers, but buyers. Buyers have already told you they like you and trust you enough to part with their money for your product. Make them happy and keep them happy and they will continue to do so, plus they will refer others to you.” 5. Scott from: “The best piece of advice I can give is to develop the book around a benefit the reader will receive, not the topic you want to write about. A classic mistake many bloggers fall into is trying to repackage their free articles as an ebook, or write an ebook on a pet topic and hope it will sell. This works some of the time, but a more effective strategy is to figure out something your audience members need help with that you can solve, write that book and explain how the book solves their problem.” 6. Tyler from: “Don’t write a single word until you’ve done your research and made sure your audience 1) actually wants what you’re about to create and 2) is actually willing to pay for it. Let the research guide your direction, but don’t let it make every decision because you also have to create what’s interesting to you. There’s a delicate balance to strike.” 7. Amy from: “Don’t wait. If you have any thoughts of publishing an ebook, dive in as soon as you can. The publishing landscape is changing very quickly. Self-publishing will only become more common. Better to get in on it now.” 8. James from: “The most common mistake I see with book writing is the slap-together approach. Some people think, “Hey, I have a bunch of great blog posts I wrote I’ll just slap them together, call it an ebook and offer it for sale!” Big mistake. Cheap out on your ebook and you’ve just lost potential customers. People might buy your ebook, sure but will they read it, think you’re a credible expert and come back to your business for more? Will they become loyal clients? Repeat customers? That’s what really counts and shortcutting the process is detrimental to your goals. So my advice is to plan properly, prepare for this large project (because it IS a large project) and do it right so that you reap the rewards.” 9. Ali from: “You need to have a specific topic, and stick to that topic. This is particularly crucial if you’re creating a free ebook, or a low-priced one. Don’t try to throw in everything and anything about your area; don’t shoot for the “ultimate” guide. Just pick one straightforward, popular, topic and stay on track. This makes the writing itself easier, and makes your ebook a more attractive prospect for the reader (who might be overwhelmed or unconvinced by a more comprehensive guide). It also leaves you plenty of room for the next ebook.” 10. Kristi from who’s also a: “The one piece of advice I would give to someone creating their first Book is to not get overwhelmed by it. It’s easy to get obsessed with details, trying to make everything as perfect as possible. While I would suggest getting an outside editor to read your work and catch any little grammatical things that you might miss, I wouldn’t get too caught up on other details. You may not have the best cover graphic, launch promotion, mailing list, etc. As other eBook authors you have seen. But if you wait for everything to be absolutely perfect, you may never publish your book at all. Or worse, someone might beat you to your topic!” 11. Kelly from: “ Avoid kitchen sink syndrome. Most first-time ebook authors are tempted to include every single thing they know about a subject, but this can backfire. Instead of seeing this as added value, readers can become overwhelmed with information. No one likes to read 400 pages of anything that isn’t War & Peace. So zero-in on a topic you know your audience is hungry for, and go deep on a specific slice of it.” 12. Marc from: “If the goal is to create an ebook that will make money, then my advice is to test the market first before you invest your time in it. The simplest way do to this is by collecting emails with a squeeze page, making it clear you will be charging for it and how much. Once you’ve collected a few emails, mesure conversion rate and decide if it’s worth it. Personally, I’d shoot for 5% or above.” 13. Tia from: “Jot down your ebook ideas, pick one to turn into an book, then give it a dedicated block of time to do your writing – whether it’s an hour a day for 2 months, 4 hours on the weekend, or 3 days straight, you’ve got to eliminate distractions and do the unsexy work of writing to get the shitty first draft. THEN you can go in and clean it up, make it pretty, etc. But don’t forget that your most important work is to sit down and do it first. Yeah, sounds so simple right? Failing to do this = you’ll do what I did and talk about your idea for a YEAR, make half hearted attempts and then sit down for 3 days and knock it out. Don’t waste that year, amigo. Start now.” 14. Henri from: “I have so many things I think are extremely important, but if I had to pick one, I’d say it’s to outline before you start writing. I use a mindmap to flesh out each chapter and subchapter, so I know everything fits together, and with a mindmap it’s extremely easy to move things around. When I finally start writing, the process is confusion-free, because everything is already in the outline. All I have to do is fill it with text.” Check out the Infographic:. I’ve written a few eBooks now and I agree with all of the advice above. My 3 killer tips are: 1. Don’t get paralysed by analysis. Once you know what your audience wants, just dive in and do it. Your first one will not be perfect but that’s the only way to learn. Make sure the title speaks of results and/or benefits. Don’t be boring. EBooks are also a great way to build credibility for getting new clients, consulting gigs and speaking engagements. Keep up the awesomeness Hector – you rock! Hey Hector, thank you for this. These are all things I can really relate to. One thing that resonates with me in particular is what Kristi of Kikolani says, Don’t get overwhelmed. When I wrote my first ebook, that’s exactly what happened to me. In my effort to make things ‘perfect’ I struggled with details, changes and worrying about whether it was worthy. That delayed my progress. If you do your research, create your outline and add useful information your readers what to know, that’s what a great book is all about. Perfectionism is a good thing but not if it ends up standing in the way of getting your book completed and published. I agree with most of these tips, and disagree with about 4 or 5 of them. The problem with tips like these are that some of them are contradictory (#6 says do your market research before you write a word, and then #7 says to dive in and don’t wait to start), and the fact that they don’t necessarily tell you *how* to do what they recommend. For instance, how do you go about doing market research? Especially if you’re a new blogger, and don’t have a list to email yet? I realize that this post wasn’t supposed to be a complete guide to writing ebooks, but I think to a new writer, this list might bring up more questions than it answers. Writing your own eBook can be a great way to giving yourself an opportunity to make some extra money every month. If you know a lot about something, you should put all of that knowledge together in an eBook which can help anyone to learn more and benefit from all of this knowledge. However, one eBook may be too specific to make much of a regular profit, so in this case, you may wish to write more than one eBook to help build your profit base even more. Selling eBooks can then become something very easy, as you will have a number of manuscripts at your disposal. Once people begin buying the eBooks that you are selling, you will have an opportunity to get feedback from them, learning what they liked and disliked about your eBooks. This may give you the opportunity to expand on your knowledge, making selling eBooks in the future much easier because you will have better quality product that people will be happy to buy. Eventually, with enough manuscripts and pertinent knowledge to sell, you may be able to turn this stream into your main business! I contacted Dr HOODOO in regards of my lover. Who was no longer wanted to associate with me anymore. He was interested in working out of marriage, after begging and pleading with him I realized it was because of another girlfriend, he really was leaving me. My co-worker went threw a similar situation and told me that YOU had helped her. I cant thank you enough, I’m grateful she introduced me to YOU. After discussing the resolution with YOU, your get your lover back spell has done more than what I expected. My lover not only came back to me, but he had also totally left his girlfriend me and now were engaged, we are getting married next month, I don’t know what I would have done without YOU,I believe you are my guardian angel. DR HOODOO want to thank you & your gods for all that you’ve done for me all these years.I’m thankful for all the time & effort you & your gods have put into my case.I am very happy and I will always be grateful sincerely,His email is • says. Impressive list indeed. We have been working with people for over 15-years (offline initially and then online starting in 2001) helping entrepreneurs and authors package their knowledge into information products (ebooks, manuals, guidebooks, CD’s, DVD’s, etc) Best advice I ever received – and then proved out with our own ebooks – is to write as if you are creating a system through which your reader will achieve a highly desired outcome to become, have, do or realize something they badly want, but have yet to achieve in their life. Structure your ebooks this way and you will literally have people begging to buy your ebooks, and then morefrom you. I just wanted to ask a question regarding the actual content of a ebook. I am in the process of writing my ebook and I wanted to know whether pictures can be inserted? It may be a silly question, just checking incase pictures or diagrams cant be featured. The reason is that, we have built something using recycled bottles and I want to write about the project and pictures are important. Furthermore, is the ebook firstly prepared in word and then later prepared as a PDF file to give it that pro appearance? Can anyone help me here? Any feedback will be appreciated.
