Thanks for these great posts, Debby. I had read about the MOBI (and I keep getting their own messages about it), but I’ll check what else is new. Oh, you might have seen this already, but just in case, I thought you’d be interested. https://www.thepetitionsite.com/891/518/513/?z00m=33053942&redirectID=3230336579

No kidding Sal. Anne has sadly, too much experience with trolls against writers. I’ve been following Anne’s blog since before I published my first book! Always great info there – and entertaining. ❤ xx

I’m actually sad at the loss of the Mobi files. The books came out looking much nicer than EPUB, in my opinion.

Always great tips you share, Deb! Well I guess I won’t need to worry about mobi files any longer, LOL. When I was teaching at university, I downloaded a lot of textbooks in epub. Seemed more robust.

It doesn’t break my heart that mobi is dead. Anything that simplifies my life is a win! As for Internet trolls, I have the same question I have for all manner of bullies and creeps: What is WRONG with you? Were you raised by wolves?

I’m with you on the mobi, Liz. And yes, why do people just have to be so mean! 🙂

Thanks for these tips, Debby. Will have to review the EPUB details when (and if) I publish again on KDP. Life seems to get more and more complicated! 🙂

Thanks for sharing these great tips, Sis. I’m glad the mobi has moved on… although, it does make the creation of poetry books much harder than before. Just like everything else, time moves and things change. 🥰

So true. And I didn’t know that about poetry issues in Epub. As you know, I’m more than happy to have someone else format my books. Lol ❤

It’s the spacing… even if they have a “verse feature, it’s double spaced, not single spaced which is an issue for free style poetry aligned to the left of the page. Most of my syllabic poetry is centered, so it works well for that. Always happy to avail my services to you, Sis. 💜
