eBook How-To Updates for 2025

So my pages on where to upload eBooks and how to format an eBook have needed updating for a while and I have finally gotten around to it. One has completely changed, since my methods for creating eBooks is now totally different, and the other has more information and some other changes. I hope someone might find the information useful, since when we're first starting out this can all be a bit of a mystery.

Where to Publish eBooks

Updates include:

the addition of what every site requires to upload an eBook
swapping out Smashwords for Draft2Digital as an aggregate site to publish to all the eBook sellers after their merger

How to Format Your eBook for Kindle, Draft2Digital & Google Books (2025)

Whole new page with all the steps I now take to create eBooks for distribution to all major eBook publishers.

This includes:

a link to the Kindle Create plugin for Word that Amazon KDP no longer support, but that still works a treat.
example Word files using the default 4 KDP templates for eBooks for those not interested in the plugin
and step by step instructions on how I have found it most efficient to go about the whole process.
