"Five Stars to Walt Shiel and his company Five Rainbows. Walt was very easy to work with and his communication skills are exquisite. I just launched my first Kindle book with his easy-to-follow instructions. This is a real breakthrough for us. We have wanted to get our books on Kindle and other e-book formats for a while now, and this launch today of Buddha's Wife by Gabriel Constans is just the beginning for our company. Thank you very much, Walt."

"If you have self-published or retain electronic rights to books and want them sold through Kindle or other electronic platforms, Five Rainbows Services will convert them for a modest fee. They take your PDF or electronic files, take out all the non-Kindle-friendly parts and send it back to you with easy-to-follow instructions on how to upload it to Amazon. After a few books sold you've made back your investment and have opened up a new market to this emerging income stream. They are easy to work with and go above and beyond!"

"If only my other business relationships were as successful and pleasant as the one I have with Walt Shiel at Five Rainbow Services. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by his quick response to my queries, and his meticulous attention to my projects. By the time I get a project to the stage where it’s time to turn it over to Walt, I rest easy."

"Pie — Falling off a log — Five Rainbows ‘Kindleizing’ your book
Name three things that are 'as easy as.'
Add that ease to a high level of competence, professional attitude, attention to detail, quick turn-around time, reasonable rates, and excellent communication skills and lo and behold you have yourself a hassle-free way to enter into the e-book system at Amazon.com. Highly recommended."

"Five Rainbows coached my literary work from a raw manuscript to a greatly improved, beautifully typeset novel ready for publication. Walt gives the clearest instructions I've ever encountered in over 200 hours of undergraduate and graduate studies and countless IBM in-service classes. His weekly instructions respected my ambitions and abilities and the necessities of the trade. He pointed out weaknesses and offered fixes rather than merely industry platitudes."

"When I needed PCIP data, I was lucky to stumble on Five Rainbows. They offered quick, friendly service at half the cost of other services I found. They advertised a reasonable turnaround time online, with an invitation to let them know of any time constraints, and responded immediately and positively to my request for PCIP data on a very short deadline. The kind service at Five Rainbows has made me quite attached to their site. I have already used their services two more times, and recommend them wholeheartedly."

"Besides creating my CIP data, Five Rainbows went the extra mile to help me when I had problems accessing my PCN number from the Library of Congress. They were prompt and professional...I highly recommend their services."
