I'm a non-fiction author and this was my third book, but the first one I didn't try to format myself. I'd burned a weekend fighting with Word styles and finally gave up. Hiring Word-2-Kindle was the right call. A few things I appreciated: The communication was great from the first email. I got a quote back quickly, and when I asked a couple of follow-up questions about image handling, the answers were specific -- not canned. You can tell when someone has actually read your email vs. pasted a template, and these folks read the email. Their process is thorough. They don't just dump your Word doc into a converter. I could see they'd gone through chapter by chapter and made real decisions about spacing, drop caps, and how the images sat next to the text. When I asked for revisions, they came back clean the first time. The final files worked on Kindle and ePub without issues and Amazon accepted the upload on the first try. For $49 I expected a much rougher experience than I got. Recommended, especially if you've already wasted hours trying to DIY it. read more

I shopped around a fair bit before picking Word-2-Kindle and I'm glad I went with them. Their process is thorough in a way I didn't expect for the price. They asked the right questions up front about layout preferences and image placement, sent me a proof I could actually check on Kindle Previewer, and then walked through my revision notes one by one instead of just doing a batch update and hoping for the best. Communication was honestly the best part. Email replies came back the same day, and when I had a weird issue with my table of contents not linking right, they fixed it within a few hours. No complaints. Fair price for what you get. read more

I've been working on my family history book for years, and Nick Caya and the Word-2-Kindle team finally helped me get it across the finish line. I had a pretty messy manuscript with tons of old photos and tricky layouts, and since I'm doing this for the first time, I honestly didn't know what I was doing. Nick was super patient with all my questions and made sure everything came together perfectly. When the paperback arrived, I was just blown away because it actually feels like a real, professionally published book. I highly recommend them if you're stuck on the formatting phase. Thanks again, Nick! read more

After a a horrendous experience with a local book formatting company I cut my losses and went with Word 2 Kindle. What a lovely bunch of competent people. I was treated with respect and cherished as a client. The quality of formatting and subsequent video review for my book What the Fire Left Behind - A spiritual Memoir was instantly accepted to KDP and their cinematic trailer of my book can be viewed on Youtube - the quality speaks for itself! I shall absolutely be using their services for my new book and look forward to working with absolute gems like Wendy and Nick. read more

Finishing my YA vampire novel was one thing, but figuring out how to turn it into a real book was a whole different challenge. Nick Caya and Word-2-Kindle helped me through that part in a way that felt straightforward and stress-free. I never felt lost or brushed off, even when I had a lot of questions. Holding the final paperback in my hands was such a good feeling. It finally made the whole project feel real. read more

Used Word-2-Kindle for my first novel and came away really happy. What stood out most was the communication -- I had a bunch of small questions in the first few days and they answered every one without making me feel like I was being annoying. The formatting itself came back clean, ran fine on my Kindle and on my wife's iPad. Would use them again. read more
