The book is highly regarded for its comprehensive and clear instructions on e-book formatting, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced indie authors. Many reviewers appreciate the step-by-step guidance and the provided HTML templates, which simplify the process of converting a manuscript into a properly formatted e-book.
