I have tended to think about writing as such a time intensive (although not quite Sisyphean) effort that would take me away from more important business tasks. With this list, I can really see how it can be integrated into the overall picture much more clearly. Thanks for the motivation!

My friend is an author and I have shared your site with her. Thanks for your inspiration Candace!

I have to get over the mendset that I don't have enough information or enough to say for a book!

I meant to say make it available in epub IN ADDITION to kindle to get the maximum exposure.

There is no "preferred" length for an e-book, especially with the e-readers nowadays. Since people are reading their books on e-readers, it is just like reading a real "print" book, which can obviously be hundreds of pages.

However, if you are looking for a 'give-away', then just be conscious that people probably will be reading on their computer in a PDF file. It is not the same experience as an e-reader, so you probably wouldn't want 100's of pages.

Bottom line? It depends what you want to do with your ebook and the purpose you are making it. If you want it on Kindle, I assume you want to sell it, it shouldn't matter how long. In fact, you could just make your book into an ebook. My suggestion however, is to also make it available in .epub so that other e-readers can also access it.

Take a look at http://www.ourlittlebooks.com/blog/2012/1/17/why-you-cant-just-take-your-file-and-make-an-e-book.html and http://www.ourlittlebooks.com/blog/2012/1/21/how-to-get-your-e-books-on-other-peoples-e-readers.html, 2 earlier posts in this current series to get some more info and to better understand the process. As always, feel free to give me a call and I can help you navigate the process!

My publisher has said that she will put it in e-book format for kindle, but I don't believe she has yet. Is there a preferred length for an e-book?
