Check out Amazon's Kindle Publishing Guidelines or read through this epic ebook creation tutorial from BB ebooks, which provides a comprehensive list of all the things you need to do. The prospect of creating MobiPocket or EPUB versions of your ebook can be overwhelming. Why Creating EPUB and MobiPocket Files Is Hard Finally, I'll talk about some helpful tools you can use to validate and test your ebook files. I'll start with an overview of the workflow, show what the final commands look like, and then talk about some of the files that you'll have to set up in order to add all the proper metadata. There are just a few simple metadata files you'll need to manually edit, but in the end Pandoc does a lot of the heavy lifting to automatically generate internal navigation files and a table of contents based upon the structure of your HTML/Markdown document. The solution we eventually settled on used Pandoc to convert a Markdown page into an EPUB file, and Amazon's KindleGen command-line program to generate a MobiPocket file. Puppet Labs is all about automation, so when we published our new continuous delivery ebook we wanted to create a workflow that could convert a Markdown file into fully featured EPUB and MobiPocket ebooks with as little manual intervention as possible.
