Amazon is fairly clear about that fact that all material will be in HTML, and gives tips on how to save .doc files and others so as to have the best chance of getting a good conversion. <br /><br />Also, Amazon/Kindle provides the entire conversion in a preview window that allows the author/poster to review the material before agreeing to post it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-90904066733441763532009-06-14T10:05:58.096-07:002009-06-14T10:05:58.096-07:00I haven't heard of this, but admit I am not sa...I haven't heard of this, but admit I am not savvy about Kindle - my book is on Kindle, but also admit I don't pay much attention to that part of Amazon!Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-88995183048944472032009-06-09T20:58:49.968-07:002009-06-09T20:58:49.968-07:00You have to convert your Word document to html for...You have to convert your Word document to html format.

It is unfortunate however, that a HUGE and very profitable organization such as Amazon.com (who also relies on reviews to sell more books) can't see the importance of distributing a professional product and displaying legitimate reviews.<br />Thanks for all your great comments!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575560533081045606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-12746731955656003022009-06-04T02:46:17.985-07:002009-06-04T02:46:17.985-07:00I'm still taking chances with some of them the...I'm still taking chances with some of them there, seeing as not risking a book to reviews leaves it without being "visible" in a sense, and because if people look into it they'll see which reviews were well thought out and which were ones like you experienced who judged quickly without investigating enough to know... which I guess they would fit into "troll" category of commenter?PoetsEspressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803515303700420565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-89707821205014624032009-06-02T12:34:50.050-07:002009-06-02T12:34:50.050-07:00I'm sorry to hear that Amazon is letting this happ...I'm sorry to hear that Amazon is letting this happen.
