I appreciate the author of the course furnishing information about where to find his ebook formatting information. One of the reasons I signed up for this course is to be able to prepare ebooks and know how to make the book look good on the inside. I read a lot, exclusively ebooks. You can tell when a book interior wasn't prepared by a pro.

Learned a few new things, but most of the content I'd already learned on my own. Needed more in-depth training on using the software.
The instructor is knowledgeable and easily understandable. The course moved at a good pace (I increased the video speed, so was great for me) and the information was clear. Thank you.

Knowledgeable Presenter -
The Course insight is definitely an asset to an existing and aspiring authors along with editors.
My only criticism is that the content flow for the online course kept stalling however I cannot say confidently that this was the presenter's fault as it could have been a disruption with my own internet provider.
