Wonder where this is taking the publishing industry and writers in general? Perhaps changing the way things are being done?!
I love to blog and so I shall continue to share!

- Kindle does not support tables in their books
- Kindle uses a place holder, and numbers the pages in a different format
- Kindle requires it own ISBN separate from your printed copy of a book
