The formatting was a nightmare so I went to Elance and found a pro from India, who did the entire conversion for $45 with cross-compatability on all Kindle models. Amazons new previewer software is quite good and allows for switching between the models. I went for the DRM, since the book reveals very potent and actionable info. Yeah, the in-house advertising can be great to cross promote to your other products. Millennial Media is another option - Their ad network is the strongest on the Kindle Platform so far and just requires downloading their SDK. Here's an interesting report from them regarding overall growth: http://paidcontent.org/article/419-millennium-media-says-kindle-fire-impressions-growing-19-percent-each-d/ Ben Morris, thanks again – I was able to get the book uploaded and accepted.

I've read hundreds of eBooks on my B&W Kindles, have only made it through one on my Fire, and that's because it hadcolor screen shots (though they were fixed size and too small). The advertising in apps sounds smart. Morris Ben,

Are you a Kindle User? Morris Ben,
