I swear, it almost takes less time to write a short story than it does to wrestle with Open Office and the Amazon KDP interface. Been farting around trying to upload Staking a Claim for ~3 hours now. Anchor publisher logo ..to page? To paragraph? To character? AS character?

2/ And then Amazon gives cryptic errors. Upload an .odt get told "error", but clicking for details gives you a different error ...because you've been timed out, but the AJAX on the page still works but gets errors from backend server. So log out, log back in, try again >

3/ ...and error is DIFFERENT but still cryptic. So upload same exact file as .doc instead of .odt, and it works. ...except some images are duplicated. Because of course they are.

4/ View the doc in OpenOffice, and the images aren't duplicated. So I delete them ... and they're still there. Delete them again...and now they're gone. Son of a gun, I guess they WERE duplicated...somehow...in the torrid zone.

Replying to @MorlockP
Vellum has been worth every penny I paid for it. Produces crisp-looking ebooks and print files as well.
