Ebook Readers – A Problem I Hadn’t Thought Of

Sigh! I suppose it should be obvious, but until I read Joe Wikert’s story called Kindle Book Conversion: One Author’s Story that I realized there would, of course, be formatting problems when it came time to get your book, or mine, into shape for whatever ebook reader I wanted to be able to sell it for.
Actually, the story is a Q&A with Francis Hamit is the author of The Shenandoah Spy, but the bottom line is it will cost either coin or extra effort to get your book ready to display on Amazon’s Kindle, and I’ll bet the same thing is true for other ebook readers.
Darn… I thought the only problem was in the readers themselves… the quality of the display, the cost, the ease of download, etc.
Does anyone here have any experience with converting an existing book, e or otherwise, for ebook readers? I’d love to hear about it. Either in a comment or an email.
