I recommend using Smashwords to distribute your e-book, because they'll distribute it to all the major e-book vendors: Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Sony, and Diesel. Publish via Smashwords, and you'll only have to format your book once. Smashwords will take care of the rest.
Books submitted to me for e-book formatting should be in Word or OpenOffice format. Images are supported, but fancy formatting (tables, columns, etc.) generally doesn't translate well to e-book format; straight text as in a novel works best. When uploading your book to Smashwords, you'll need to have a cover image at least 600 pixels tall. A great place to find an image for your cover is Dreamstime. Once you've uploaded your book, you'll also need to acquire a free ISBN number for it via your Smashwords Dashboard.

I will format short books (<25,000 words) into Smashwords Premium Catalog format for $25.00. For works up to 100,000 words, I will format into Smashwords for $50.00.
