How to add the digital versions of my books?

[askMark]

Ok, so I am a total novice, and have spent so much time trying to add the kindle versions of my books. Can someone give me a step by step? Is there a guide in existence? I have such a struggle with the site and wonder if other website builders are easier? I've gotten so I dread working on the website. In your answers, please start basic! Thank you!

HI, need a bit more information to hopefully help.  Are you setting up an Online Store to sell your digital books? 

I have tried several online store sites in the past and I found Square Online store to be super user friendly.  You can't mess anything up.

Ask away!

I've got my physical books all set up. I want to add the digital version that are so far only available on Amazon/Kindle. How do I add - it won't give me the option for a file of the book, other than the cover. And, given I can figure that out, how do you set up for email delivery of the book file?

I'm feeling totally lost. I get little tidbits, but what I need is a start to finish explanation. I have 8 digital books to add. I want to have the option of the digital right with the physical also.

Ok, so I found the place - add items - that allows you to choose digital. But it only allows me to upload a cover pic. I want to sell the ebook on my site, Is there a good video somewhere on how to set this up? 

I really need help on this. Resource? 

Thank you.

HI, unfortunately, this Square Support page states an email would need to be sent to your customers with a link to the file they purchased.

Terri, thank you! This was the best help yet! I don't know if you can answer this: How do you set up a .mobi file that you can then duplicate and send? 

Maybe I need to hire a teenager! I'm 61!

HI, so glad that helped.  I am right there with ya.  I have been selling online since 2001 starting on eBay.  There are a few free websites available for convert to mobi, just add convert to mobi in Google.  I am not familiar with mobi so can not help further than that.  

Good Luck!!
