      I was so impressed that I just joined his Royalty Hero group a couple days ago. Edited to add: Yes, he knows what he's doing! I was on the FB group asking a question about formatting, but then decided to check out RUclips, and Sean is who came up first!

    I watched several videos on the same topic and came away still frustrated and baffled. Glad I found Sean's video because it is far-and-away better than the others: spot on, easy-to-follow, with just the right amount of instruction. I was able to complete my e-book formatting in a very short amount of time. Thank you, Sean!

My table shows Preface at page seven (after title page, ect.) and the Introduction at page two. Also, there are 3 pages between the Preface and Intro that I can't seem to delete. I've looked online but the suggestions haven't worked. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Barbara B

    Is there a limit to the number of books one can publish in a week.

    Hi, thanks for the information. My first attempt at putting books on KDP was a disaster. I've a question. I did the "mirror margins" like you said, and they come out right and left shifted on the computer from one page to the next. Does that matter for the eBook version. I plan to do hard copy as well, but should it be doing that in the eBook version?
    Thanks for your help.
