 If you plan to do a lot of development on |app|, then the best method is to create a 
-`Launchpad <http://launchpad.net>`_ account. Once you have the account, you can create your own
-branch in which you do |app| development. To do that go to `Launchpad code <https://code.launchpad.net>`_ and click
-"Register a branch" (choose a branch type of "Hosted"). Once the branch is setup you can associate it
-with the code you checked out in the previous step running the following command in any directory

+`Launchpad <http://launchpad.net>`_ account. Once you have the account, you can use it to register
+your bzr branch created by the `bzr branch` command above with the |app| project. First run the
+following command to tell bzr about your launchpad account::
 
-    bzr push <URL of your launchpad branch>
+    bzr launchpad-login your_launchpad_username

 I can merge it directly from you branch into the main |app| source tree. You should also subscribe to the |app|
 developers mailing list `calibre-devs <https://launchpad.net/~calibre-devs>`_. Before making major changes, you should
