Creating Ebooks

How do I create ebooks? Is there any free software available?

 

Create your doc in ms word then use http://www.doc2pdf.net/converter/ to convert it to pdf

 

Does everybody sell ebooks in pdf format? Creating pdfs is not a problem for me, I can do that in Open office. I'm looking for something that exports it in exe format.

 

Creating the ebook in pdf is a much better solution because then you ebook will be portable and will be able to run on windows, linux and apple macs not mention pda's ,etc. However if you choose exe than your stuck with windows

If you want to still create an exe file just searcg google for free pdf to exe converter

 

use adobe acrobat...works great with me

 

he doesn't want pdf didnt you read the post mate

 

No, I was just asking if everybody who sells ebooks on DP uses pdf format.

 

I too am partial to Open Office for creating ebooks in PDF format. You just can't beat the price-to-performance ration.

 

Adobe acrobat is the software for making ebooks

 

yep use adobe acrobat or you can search on the google type in pdf converter

 

try adobe acrobat...I used this tool and it's good.

 

The best way is always to convert your doc to a pdf file, I think. Try searching for software that will help you do so.

 

Once you create it - use something like clickbank or payloadz to sell it.

 

No second thought, use pdf for your ebooks. Don't get too hung up with how to create ebooks. Make things easy and get the selling going.

If you don't want to spend money buying software, try PrimoPDf or PDFcreator. They are free. What you need to do is write your book in Word and print it to the PDF converter by selecting "Printer"

 

However Open Office is a full suite of applications using Java, and this is truly annoying if you prefer not to install this plugin or you get rid of it, while Acrobat is everyday more complex to handle.

I prefer a simple and effectve solution that works with almost any application with printing ability, www.dopdf.com

 

I use open office to write my eBooks then just convert them to PDF, however remember to keep a second back up copy in ODF format just incase you have forgot to change/edit something.

 

Hello Napoleon,

To create an ebook you just need a word document and
then you can convert it into a pdf file.

Years ago you made the ebook in a executable file but
they in my honest opinion were hidious.

You can download a fantastic program that I use and
best of all its free, its called open office, run a basic
google search for

"download open office"

its like microsoft word only it has a built in pdf converter.

Yours,

I'm not planning to sell the book, its a weekly magazine sort of. It will contain a lot of lonks, that is why I'm worried about using the pdf format.

 

you can still have links in a pdf file
