There is no question that, in recent years, the Portable Data Format (PDF) for files has become the de-facto standard for ebook creation. These days almost no one is producing ebooks in the older PC (EXE) format. There are probably quite a number of reasons for this shift towards favouring of the PDF format. However, the most important reason is that PDFs can be viewed on any computer using any operating system – a desirable feature for anyone interested in creating ebooks. There are quite a number of alternatives for PDF creation including both free and purchasable options; some of which are online tools and some are stand-alone programs. I personally believe that the best option for anyone starting out creating ebooks is eWriterPro. There are a number of reasons for making such a bold claim: firstly, the software is a full-function, professional application; secondly, it comes with Master Resale Rights (MRR) included, so it can be sold for 100% profit; and thirdly, you can get it completely free of charge. With eWriterPro, you can create your files from scratch because it has a built-in word-processor; or alternatively, you can create your source files using Microsoft Word or, for that matter, just about any other word-processor; and then you can simply use the software just for the PDF conversion. It’s a very straightforward process to create the finalised document; and it’s all fully explained in the manual that comes included with the software. But you can also use eWriterPro for many other purposes including creating articles using its word-processing facility and it even has a handy, built-in Calendar feature. And, of course, you can sell it, give it away or use it as a bonus to a paid or free product; or as a sign-up bonus to get people to opt-in to your list. So all in all, this software should be a most welcome and a valuable addition to your marketing arsenal. Here's the download link ... http://www.whitedovebooks.co.uk/ewriter/sales.html
