The Beating Broke Guide to Your Credit Score is a guide that I wrote a while back, that has been available as a download here on the site as a .pdf document for some time. With the recent rise in usage for ebook readers, I thought it was time that it got converted over and presented as a kindle ebook. So, that’s exactly what I did last weekend. It’s now available in the Kindle store on Amazon for only $0.99. It’s still available as a pdf download here for free, if that’s what you want, but I know some would rather have it directly on their reader. It’s also been made available in the epub format (free) on Smashwords.

Very cool. How difficult was it to convert to epub and publish on Amazon?
It wasn’t terribly difficult. I think the biggest issues I had were the images needed to be scaled down a lot to fit the smaller screen, and there was a lot of errant formatting that the converters picked up that aren’t evident in the pdf. All told, I think it took about 2-3 hours to convert for Kindle. Keep in mind, I was learning the process as I went, so it took a lot longer than it will next time. The nice thing is that once it was cleaned up and ready for kindle conversion, there were just a few changes to be made to load into smashwords for epub.
This is a great resource. Cool that it is now on Kindle.
Sorry if I jumped the gun on you in the Yakezie forum!
No worries, Marie! The PDF has been published for a while, so no harm done!
That’s pretty neat that you have a Kindle book now! Great resource by the way..
