Add your publishing name and website address to the first page. (The one I created is 3 Media Press.) If you’re the only employee, a separate ID number is not needed in the US. Use a slightly larger font size, bold, or italics for the first letter or for the first word, if you wish. Change the look of the first word or line, at the beginning of a chapter or of a new section within a chapter, by using caps for one line or for the first three words.Nook discards page breaks, so simply use a single empty line between chapters for it. For Kindle, put in page breaks to start a new page for a chapter if you wish.Center or offset chapter numbers or titles (such as chapter one), change the font size, or use bold or italics. Do any font changes for stylistic appearance.Currently, you don’t have to have an ISBN on an e-book though if you don’t have one, both Amazon and Barnes and Noble will issue one to the book.

First page: center the title of your work-you can use a slightly larger size font, but keep the lines short for the reader screen.

Nook, in particular, doesn’t want to use the spacing if it is more than a single blank line.

Use only a single extra space between sections.

Use the formatting feature to justify both left and right margins of the manuscript with an icon choice in your tool bar (the other choices are ragged right, centered, and ragged left) for the “look” of a printed book page.

Margins will remain at one inch all around.

Change from double space to single space.

Change from 12pt to 11pt unless there is a reason for using a larger font size.

Use Times New Roman, Verdana, or Arial font.
