• 6x9 - the same file we publish for our paperback book
• Letter - Standard page size for reading on the computer
• Letter print - Standard page size, but reduced page count and optimized with page numbers for printing
• Small screen - Sized for a small e-reader to have the best formatting, but no font resizing. (for that you need the epub)

eBook (ePub) – Works with e-readers and reading apps. Reflowable text for comfortable reading on phones, tablets, and dedicated e-readers. NOTE: You need to have an app or device which can read epub books! Email to kindle and similar services should work.

Audiobook (M4B) – Listen and learn on the go! This audiobook is generated using computerized text-to-speech, which is lower quality than a live reader, but allows us to push frequent updates as the content evolves. A sample with the intro and chapter 1 is available as a free download: Download sample.

Best used with an audiobook app on a mobile device. If you notice any quality issues with the audiobook, please email support@signalstuff.com and we’ll work to get them resolved.
