How to Sell Fiction eBooks
Research the ebook retailers who carry fiction ebooks. Go to their websites to see which formats they support (such as PDF, Kindle, Microsoft Reader, and so forth). Also try to find the site’s “publishers” page. Many ebook retailers use this page to outline their protocols for uploading new ebooks to their database.
Convert a copy of your fiction book to your chosen ebook format(s). There are services available which, sometimes for a fee, will convert your book to these formats for you. But learning how to do this yourself is not complicated. To convert to PDF, you need to purchase Adobe Creator (the free PDF converters you can download online do not have the feature flexibility needed to create a PDF document which will meet the standards set by some ebook retailers and distributors). To create an ebook in .lit format, you need to download a copy of “Microsoft Reader Content Software Development Kit.” The kit is available for free download. To convert to Kindle, create a copy of your book in HTML format; then upload this version of your book to Amazon’s “Digital Text Platform.” When you upload your book to the platform it will automatically be converted to the Kindle format.
Sign up for an account with an ebook distributor such as “Lightening Source.” While some ebook retails, like Amazon, allow publishers to upload their books to the retailer’s database directly; other retailers get their content exclusively from ebook distributors. Some ebook distributors charge a fee, but the cost is generally nominal.
Upload your fiction ebook to your select ebook retailers' or ebook distributors' databases. Once the book is approved and becomes live it will appear for sale on ebook retail websites.
Promote your ebook. It’s not enough to simply publish your fiction ebook. If you want the book to sell you have to promote it. Create an author’s or publisher’s website which promotes your projects. Invest in online ads. Use social networking sites to promote your books. Send out email sales letters. Be creative. The goal is to make people aware that your fiction ebook exists, and excite interest in it. Ebooks are a relatively new medium for books, which suggests that the door is wide open for innovative ways of marketing and promoting this type of product.

How to Hide a Photo in an IPad
Determine your needs for hiding photos on the iPad. For example, do you want to just hide one or a few pictures or do you want an app that also lets you store files privately, such as journal entries you don't want others to see.
Tap your iPad's 'App Store' icon to launch the store interface.
Tap inside the search box and enter the key terms 'Private photo,' 'Private pictures,' 'Lock files,' 'Hide photos,' or similar terms. Any of these key phrases brings up a selection of apps to meet your needs.
Read the app descriptions for the apps resulting from your search. Pay attention to the size (cache) limitations to make sure the app can store enough data to include all your private photos. Also check whether the app encrypts your images. This is important if you're worried about sensitive images being seen if you lose your iPad. If you just want to keep a couple of unflattering photos out of the gallery, however, this is less important. An app that easily imports images from your existing photo gallery is best. Read the user reviews to find out how easy the app is to learn and use.
Download the app you determine best meets your needs for hiding your private images and wait for the iPad to finish installing it.
Launch the app, and then read any introductory or help files to determine how to get your photos into and out of the app.
Practice locking and unlocking the app a few times before you move any data into it. Once you're familiar with how it works, import the photos you want to hide. This usually involves tapping an 'Import' or 'fetch' button and browsing to the photos you want to import. Some apps may allow you to use the 'Action' button in e photo galley (the same button used to email photos) to send your pictures directly into the private app. Placing them within this app will hide them on your iPad, storing them where only you or someone to whom you give the passcode can view them.
