I didn't want to waste time trying to figure out Kindle formatting myself for my novel. Fortunately, I found Joshua and he did a great job. He was very helpful in understanding Kindle and got the project done quickly. I recommend him highly.

Joshua is a speedy technician and knows what he’s doing, has superb communication skills, a strong work ethic, is reliable, and has a pleasant personality. His rates are very reasonable and he works on your book till it looks ‘just right.’ He uploaded my book to Kindle without a hitch. Frankly, unless you’re a computer programming whiz yourself, I can’t imagine why you would even attempt to format a book for Kindle on your own. Contact Joshua!

Joshua Tallent prepared my hardcover, "The Pro-Am Murders". quickly and well ---- and with his prpmpt answers to numerous newbie questions, I had no difficulty uploading the book into Amazon's Kindle store. It was especially pleasing to have these many emails answered so quickly! Seemed that he had answers before I asked! I'd recommend Joshua without reservation.

I am pleased to say, Joshua Tallent, at kindleformatting.com was the perfect solution for two questions I was having trouble finding answers for; how can I get my three books formatted for the Amazon Kindle program, and who can guide me through the process.
Joshua was absolutely wonderful to work with—and he wasn't afraid to actually talk with me on the telephone. With his easy-to-understand guidance, this very scary process turned out to be a snap—plus, the costs were much less than I had imagined.

After deciding to publish our first Kindle product, Washington State RoadAtlas, we found the formatting process had many limitations most undocumented. Joshua’s experience with the formatting techniques was essential in getting our product completed. He was incredibly helpful in solving key navigation problems making our product unique to any product on the Kindle.
Joshua provided excellent direction and creative solutions. I would recommend him for anyone try to publish to the Kindle.

Joshua Tallent was a pleasure to work with at every stage of the project. He saved me time and money by converting the book quickly and charged exactly what he estimated it would cost. He was very responsive through email and flexible with my requests for changes to the document. Knowing that Joshua is available to convert publications efficiently for Kindle, inspires me to write more.

After spending much time researching how to format ebooks for Amazon Kindle, we decided to give Joshua a try. We were very pleased with the quick turnaround, and ease of using the service. He was able to answer a lot of questions and his expertise with ebook formats really stood out. He helped us achieve the look we wanted with the ebook, even when faced with limitations with Kindle. Not only does he offer great service, but he also offers reasonable prices. We will definitely use his services again in the future.

Joshua Tallent's excellent Kindle Formatting service saved me days of frustration. I'm an author with intermediate computer skills, and thought I'd be able to tackle the Kindle techno-challenge myself. Wrong. It was important to me to have my book looking as perfect in the Kindle edition as it does in print, and despite my best efforts I couldn't master the little details—the ones that make a difference. Joshua responded immediately to my Email cry for help, and (after receiving a clean copy of my manuscript in word.doc form) completed the work in an hour and a half. Talent comes in many forms, but if it's technical Kindle talent you're seeking, Joshua Tallent is the man. He has a black belt in Kindle Formatting.

(Publishers Weekly Starred Review)
Joshua Tallent delivered impeccable, accurate, beautifully designed Kindle and Mobipocket formatting for our two eBooks, the Messiah Interviews and Divinely Inspired. He did this with ease, amazing patience, and in quick turnaround time, all very pleasantly and with kindness and class. He was further very helpful in the Mobipocket submission for each of our titles, which is relatively difficult compared to Kindle submission. He took whatever time was necessary to guide me on the telephone step by step through the submission process. I am extremely fortunate that our paths have crossed and I recommend him without reservation. Please feel free to email me at jerrypollock@bellsouth.net if you require further testimony of Joshua’s excellence as an eBook formatter and as a person.

I am so pleased I discovered Joshua Tallent and his formatting services. Nothing irks a reader more than a poorly formatted book--in any medium. Joshua knows what an ebook needs to look like and provides high-quality work at a very reasonable price. I look forward to working with him on future projects.

[Joshua] did an excellent job, mixing in the hard-to-format quotes and photos that start each chapter with aplomb. If you're an author or a publisher looking to format books of your own, I'd highly recommend him.
You did a remarkable job! The finished product and the timeliness of your work are amazing!

Working with Kindle Formatting was quick and painless. Having Joshua focused on the conversion freed me up to do what I do best...

At first I tried to format my Kindle book myself. I spent hours on it and still had a lot of annoying glitches, including an intractable problem with the margins. Joshua contacted me and reformatted the entire book in short order. He added some nice touches, like hyperlinks to each of the chapters, and cleaned up all the problems. And he did it promptly, accurately, inexpensively, and professionally.
I would highly recommend his services to any new Kindle author. You'll save yourself hours and many headaches. And the result will be much better than what you could do yourself.
