Underachiever
When I first placed Billy on Amazon, some of the feedback was that the sentence structure was sometimes off, and that there were a lot of words that were spelled wrong. I tried going back through it, but although I did see a few errors, it didn't seem to warrant some of the comments. Still, I decided to check the upload. Wow.
First. Never, EVER use PDF conversions to upload to Amazon. The process will take italicized words and eliminate the spaces between them, creating a mess. PDF conversion will also occasionally just cut a sentence off. Maybe it will move part of it somewhere else, or just skip a line, but it may also just cut it right out. I have no idea why that is. I do, however, know that it happens.
If you decide to place something you've written on Amazon, go online and download Open Office. It's a free download. Once you've transferred your work to Open Office, you can then save it in HTML format.
Uploading HTML to Amazon will work much much easier than a PDF, and will not, that I have seen so far, wreak havoc with your story, or it's sentence structure.
I know that only a few are interested in doing something like this, but for those that are, I'll let you learn from my mistakes, lol.
