Word Press blog into ebook/Kindle book....anyone know how to do this?

[Ottakee]

I am shutting down my blog and going to just be using my FB page for posts.  Costs are one consideration and the other is that after 4 years, I am moving on.

That said, someone suggested that I turn my blog into an ebook to share with others.  I would love to do that.  I am not looking to make any money off this and would offer it for free (can you do that with Amazon??) .  I just want to make sure that I retain ownership of my content.

Anyone ever do this?   I just figured out how to save my blog posts in a PDF.  I only have about 3 weeks  before my hosting is done so I need to move rather quickly.   I just need simple, easy, and inexpensive if such a thing exists.

Yes. First question… do you have a mac?

Nope.

Okay. Copy & paste all of it into a word document. Back it up so there’s no rush.

If you don’t have word, free Open Office will do. Run a spell & grammar check. Then follow the instructions from Amazon:

There’s also some software that can format it for you, but I’m only familiar with a mac-exclusive one.

I have it saved in a pdf file.   Now to figure out how to format it into a digital book.

Amazon has a convertor tool on their website in the link I provided.
