background prep for ebook

It's been a-mazing I will go as I do background research on which ebook publishing resource I "should" use.  After this and that (Smashwords or Blurb etc), I asked Tony Ford at Startup Tucson who suggested Scrivener.com as the best tool, save my text in epub and then put it on my website.

So I downloaded a free 30 day trial of Scrivener, watched the tutorial twice, have followed several Facebook posts by writers who use Scrivener for blogging and/or fiction and nonfiction writing.  Tomorrow I am going to take the plunge with Scrivener and see how it goes.

I am probably also going to publish the book through Nook and I have read/reread a guide I purchased through Nook for $.99.

Also, all of the sources cited the importance of a cover for the ebook, so I am (probably) going to try a resource on fivrr.com .  I am definitely learning all this as I go along and if any of you have suggestions, please let me know with a comment on this post.  So...onward.
