The manuscript has been prepared in the manner that I suggested in an earlier post all of the styles are applied globally, and had names applied in Word’s Styles palette. The fonts are part of what makes this file challenging the drop cap at the beginning of the first paragraph is another part. I chose this file because it had just enough complexity to test these conversion tools, but not so much that it will break all of them. Here’s the chapter head that we’re going to be looking at a lot: I’ll also talk briefly about the possibility of using one of these tools to create the ePub ebook file, and then a text editor or web-design app to do any post-conversion editing.įor each app, I’m going to start with a formatted Word document from a book that I’m working on (my own novel Risuko, actually). Calibre (ebook library app with file-editing utility).iBooks Author (fixed-format ebook design app).QuarkXpress (professional page-layout app).Adobe’s InDesign (professional page-layout app).Apple’s Pages for OS X or iOS (consumer word-processing/page-layout app).Apache’s OpenOffice has a plug-in called Writer2ePub that allows you to save files as ebooks (open source office suite).

Here’s the list of software that I will look through with you. But for now, we’re going to look at choosing the software that you can use to create a book yourself.
#JUTOH CHAPTERS HOW TO#
Using a conversion service or ebook designer is always an option, and I’ll discuss later how to choose one. I’m not going to dwell on option #4 (or the second half of option #3), since the emphasis of this series is how to create your own ebooks. We’re going to ignore option #1 - if you’re the kind of person who wants to dig that deep into the guts of ebook creation, I don’t think that you’re going to be patient with this process.
