The adventure of Formatting

I never knew how challenging it was going to be to format my novels for ebooks, especially since I had never written them with the intention of having them published that way. I am one week into the process and I am almost finished with my first book of my trilogy. I had heard other indie authors complain about the process but nothing really prepared me for the actual endeavor. I'm a pretty efficient editor and can run through a manuscript quite fast, however this is one of the most time consuming things I have done. All I know is that I will definitely be writing in the exposed format in the future and changing how I do things for future projects.
