Your book, rebuilt as a true ebook: text that reflows to every screen, a linked table of contents, your images placed right, and your cover adapted for the store. Readers who'd never order a paperback will buy your book at 11pm on their phone — this is the edition they're buying.
Under coverture, Abigail's wages belonged to Nathaniel the moment they touched her hand. The magistrate called it protection; she had another word for it, and kept it behind her teeth.
The yard smelled of oak shavings and tar, and the tide was already turning.

The yard smelled of oak shavings and tar, and the tide was already turning. Her father's compass sat in her apron pocket, heavier than brass has any right to be.

Real text from The Shipwright's Daughter — one EPUB, three screens.
A real EPUB — the format Kindle actually ingests — constructed from your book, not exported from a word processor and hoped over the wall. Chapters, front matter, dedication, images with their captions where they belong, validated twice: once against the industry standard, once against Amazon's own conversion, so it doesn't bounce at upload. (We learned that second check by publishing our own novel. The lesson is now permanent machinery.)
Enrollment earns page-read royalties and promo tools in exchange for 90-day ebook exclusivity — the common choice for debut fiction hunting readers.
Asked once by Amazon and never changeable after; most independent publishers now choose No, and with No, readers who buy your book can download a copy they truly own.
Your intake explains both in plain words; your kit records your answers so upload night holds no surprises.
Ebooks priced $2.99–$9.99 earn Amazon's 70% royalty; outside that band, 35%. Your guide includes our suggested price with the arithmetic shown. A $4.99 ebook at 70% pays you more per copy than most trade paperbacks pay their authors — which is the entire quiet argument for having a Kindle edition.
No — Kindle editions don't need one; Amazon assigns its own identifier.
Yes — placed and captioned; we check them on real previews.
Same account, same Bookshelf, nested under the same title as your paperback. One book, two editions, one author page.
