How to Create E Books

Hi everybody, I have a question on how to make an ebook?
Answer
The easiest way to physically create an ebook is to use Adobe PDF. It is not, however, cheap. There are cheaper ways of doing it, such as:
~ Hiring a contractor to do it, like those on Mechanical Turk, or
~ Having a friend convert it, or
~ Using Alf's methods (see http://sbiresources.sitesell.com/#ALFEBOOK ).

Alf's book is pretty good. It takes you all the way from writing it through loading it up into SBI. There are a lot of steps involved, so his book is really handy. I used it the first time I created an ebook. (I have since gotten Adobe PDF since I have nearly 100 ebooks.)

The whole process is more than I can outline here. But if you really want to learn the whole process, start with Alf's book and work your way up. If you have just one or two books, hire it out.

Best,
MaryAnn

If the main idea of getting a e book why can't you use the preview of a mac OS which produces an PDF format. I haven't found out how to make a cover for it but the PDF file is easily emailed. I f i;m missing something, please let me know.
Answer
Henry, I don't have a Mac, so I can't try out what you are suggesting. I know the Mac does some really nifty stuff, and this just might be one of them. I would suggest that you post your question in the Mac forum in SBI and see what other Mac owners say.
Best,
MaryAnn
