There is a free download that allows you to convert your books into all the different e-book formats. It's called Calebre e-book management. There are a few little tricks that are easy to use to make your e-book look great. You will still have to create your own cover in a jpeg or similar format, but after that it's not that hard. One important point: download it directly from the company so you won't have to undo the advertising tags. If it's not from the original company, those will be embedded. There is a nice lady on who's blog I learned some of those tricks I mentioned. If you want to read her blog, contact me and I'll send you that link.
