            <description><![CDATA[Thanks for your suggestions everyone. Sorry for not being here to aknowlege your help at the time. I'm just wondering though, if the answers are still true. 

The reason I'm asking is because in our advantage account there is a page that claims to offer an option of simply selecting any title that currently is enrolled in search inside the book and amazon will just convert it to kindle for you. It even suggests that you can simply send a physicial book to amazon and they will convert it to kindke for you at no cost as long as sales for the tiles are good enough.

Of course the form they present on this page is a form for content upload, not selection of existing content. 

So it's not really operable. Not only that, but search inside no longer converts phycial books to their digital format. Our last batch was returned to sender.

But is all this pointing to a new free way to make titles available on kindle in the near future or will publishers still have to spend time or money on formatting?

            <description><![CDATA[The question is not about how to upload the files to their Kindles.

The question is about DRM on these files. I want to give these books for 50 people having 50 Kindles. That's it. Without DRM on these books, they can send those files via email or p2p and it will work on millions of Kindles.

How to accomplish that?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[How they convert the SITB data to kindle is one question. 
Another confusing thing is that they also say you can send a physical book for free conversion. But when we sent our most recent batch to SITB, they were returned to sender. They said they no longer convert physical books!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This is an image inside the book, and not the cover, right?

What happens? You get a blank image or a 'not found' message when you preview the book?

Basically, the way it works is that you name the image something like image.jpg. Where you want it to appear, you go [IMG SRC="image.jpg"] only using angle brackets instead of square ones.

Then you get archiving software from somewhere, zip the document file and the image jpeg together, and upload them as a single file. Did you do that?]]></description>
