eBook Conversion By Hand - How Important is It?

If you are technologically literate, it’s possible to handle your own ebook conversion by hand. This requires basic knowledge of computer programming markup languages (like HTML).  If you covert by hand, the likelihood of errors will be less than if you use automated conversion software, but it’s also very time consuming.  Before you attempt eBook conversion by hand, make sure you are familiar with HTML and the tools and techniques to make your eBook render well on the various eBook reading devices.
