I format my own books, using Vellum, so that I can make them look pretty. Unfortunately, all the pretty gets stripped out when I turn them into Kindle mobi files. Files in epub (Nook, iBooks, and Kobo) keep the pretty formatting.
My husband prefers Kindle and doesn’t miss the fancy formatting. I wondered about you, though. Do you care?
I decided to find out if you care about the pretty formatting enough to choose epub, so…
TA DA!
…. my entire 7-book Once Upon a Wedding collection boxed set will be on sale until the end of the year for $6.99 (regularly $14.99). You can get the deal on(Nook, iBooks, and Kobo).
You can also test out the question for yourself with The Fairy Tale Bride, the first book in the series, which is free.
Let me know your preferences in the comments, please!
Wishing you a wonderful 2017,
Kelly
I don’t care as long as I can read it!
Emilie-Louse — you sound like my husband, who just wants to read great new stories 🙂
Hi Kelly, I have a Nook and that is my preference. Just purchased the box set of the Once Upon AWedding Series. Thank you for putting the full 7 books in a set at such a wonderful price. So appreciate the bargain.
I have a tablet that has apps from Kindle and the others. I do prefer the pretty formatting, but if I can only get it on Kindle then that’s how I will read it.
I prefer Kindle format, as I don’t have a tablet. The formatting doesn’t matter to me.
I have a tablet with both kindle and nook . the pretty formatting tends to get lost on the nook appmso it really does not matter to me.
I use a kindle. The formatting doesn’t matter to me, however the content of a book does!
I am a devoted kindle user, so MOBI for me. I have noted some Authors reporting issues with Amazon so one day I may have to branch out as well.
Kindle, I’ve just bought the second normal one.
It was either new bookshelf or a new kindle… well my husband threaten me with divorce, if I choose wrongly… so kindle was cheaper in any case. :o)
I am a sucker for a pretty cover if it is the genre I enjoy. The cover will pull me in to read the blurb.
Thanks, for asking.
I use kindle exclusively.
I prefer Kindle, decent formatting is nice. Kindle is light and less distracting.
Kindle mobi
I’m not fussy, but my Kindle app on my iPad is my go to reader.
I seem to be of a Kindle person, so mobile for me. If the author has a real gift of describing a scenario then there is no need for you to add all the bells and whistles,I make my own. Thanks for being that type of author! Love your work.
I have a tablet with kindle app and the nook app. I started out with a nook, so I have a lot if books on my nook app I don’t have on my kindle app. However I prefer reading my books with my kindle app.
I have both so it don’t matter to me.
I have a Kindle Fire and I read all the time and don’t really care about what cover is on the e/books I read as long as the books are good.
Kindle for me….. I dont have a tablet or smart phone. Thanks for asking.
I use kindle on mobi. I prefer keeping all my books on one device. Thanks for the freeby. I love Victorian stories. I look forward to reading it!
epub!
I prefer Kindle mobi.
I like mobi best because I read on my android and it takes less space than epub
iBooks for me. I like the “pretty” formatting. I don’t have a kindle so purchase my books on my iPad.
Love your stories Kelly but find that there isn’t a full range of them on iBooks.
All the best for 2017
I have a Kindle Fire and want mobi files. I don’t care about the fancy formatting, as long as there are visible words, sentences, paragraphs, and chapters. (I read James Joyce in college and it was a tough slog that I don’t care to repeat.)
I use a Kindle app so I want a mobi.
I’ve found that mobi (Kindle) is easy to download and haven’t had any problem with the process.
I got started with a Kobo ereader and have added the app to my phone. When it became clear that some books were unavailable any other way, I finally added the Kindle app to my phone. I much prefer Kobo over Kindle. It just seems to be more flexible than the other. Thanks for asking.
I prefer epub thank you 🙂
I Iike them both so if I have to charge one then I can keep reading on the other one
If it was a print book I would love the pretty However as I have the kindle app on my comp I have to go with kindle
I have both a Nook and a Kindle, so I will take either way. Like others it is the content of the book which really matters.
I have a Kindle so that is easiest for me. I also have a tech savvy hubby so if I can’t figure it out he makes it work lol
Kindle mobi is my preference
Hello Kelly , i hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I only use mobi . I love the kindle and would never use another . Happy New Year to all
Have a tablet and a Kindle. Use Kindle exclusively. BUT I really like real books. Some authors I can only get on ebooks and I read those authors (like you) any way I can get them!
Nook is fine, but I generally prefer mobi, best delivered by Amazon or BookFunnel.
I prefer epub pdf as a tend to use a sony ebook reader or my Samsung tablet, though I also read kindles when I can’t get the book the other way.
My NOOK tablet also has the Kindle app on it, but I prefer the Nook’s epub over mobi. I just don’t care for the way the Kindle gives me information. I have several books in my Kindle app. I think I’ve finished two of them. I have 1, 800 something in my Nook library. I’ve probably finished at least half, maybe more.
I prefer Kindle Mobi as I have a kindle fire tablet. I am disabled and spend a lot of time in the hospital. The Kindle is inexpensive and allows to do so much.
