Hi Timothy-
I hadn't heard of KindleGen - I'll have to take a look. When I create a zip file, I always download to a Kindle and verify that all looks good. Mind you, that's a 3G so for the Fire, I have to trust the online viewer. I've been thinking of purchasing a Fire so I can verify the 'real' file. Thanks for the head's up.

I use word 2010. For Kindle, in Word, I save as html (web page), then zip it all up and upload - this seems to work fine (for Kindle anyway.)

Hi Ellie

But doesn't this wipe out ALL your formatting e.g. italics? Seems pretty drastic to have to reformat an entire novel. Or am I missing something?
