8 Easy Steps to Publishing Your E-Book

1. Feed assembled knowledge (currently in book form) into a giant mega computer.
2. Transfer the knowledge onto magnetic tape.
3. Transform the information from the tape into static cosmic energy.
4. Discharge the static cosmic energy into a tiny information storage module.
NOTE: Once you have obtained the sphere containing the assembled knowledge, you must escape to another galaxy.
5. Enter rocket.
6. Blast off.
7. As you leave your planet, watch it explode.
8. Shed a single tear and say farewell to everything.

These instructions are also available as a video tutorial (1:30 – 3:30).
