Ebook Formats

During the last few months I have tested several of the many ebook creation software tools on the market.

There are two common ebook creation formats being used to produce and distribute electronic ebooks. Both formats offer a secure way to sell & distribute your information products.

Adobe Acrobat

Acrobat is a popular program for creating ebooks. The Acrobat format is not my first choice for three reasons:

In order to view ebooks produced in Acrobat format you must download and install free reader software to view ebooks

The software required to produce ebooks is expensive to purchase

The learning curve for the Acrobat is difficult to master for the graphically challenged.

HTML Compilers

E-book compiler software programs use standard HTML files to produce ebooks. The HTML compiler software compresses normal HTML files into a self-extracting executable file (.exe).

If you are on-line you already have a HTML browser installed. Windows comes with Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Anyone can download and view ebooks produced with any compiler software using any Internet browser.

You can see a comprehensive review of most of the ebook software available at the following URL. But read on first, I can save you the time and effort I spent testing the software.

Free Ebook Viewers

Microsoft offers "Front Page Light" a free web design program. Netscape also offers a free web site design tool titled "Netscape Composer". If Netscape is already installed you can use the FILE OPEN PAGE command to create or open HTML files in Netscape's Composer program, which is included with Netscape. AOL offers "AOL Press" a free web site design tool.

No matter which browser you presently use you can already download, install and view HTML compiled ebooks with no special knowledge or additional software.

Security Issues

If you are selling your information products you don't want to make it easy for people to copy your source files. Most compilers make it difficult if not impossible for scammers to copy and resell your information without your permission. You can make it impossible to copy and/or print the information and the best programs use multiple passwords keyed to your computer to protect their ebooks from theft.

Selling Ebooks On-Line

The cheapest way to accept credit cards on-line and create your own affiliate program is to use a service like clickbank ClickBank.com has a one-time $49.95 activation fee, and a $1 + 7.5% fee per sale. There are no monthly fees.

You can earn up to 50% commissions re-selling hundreds of other people's products on-line through Click Bank's affiliate programs. If you are not ready to purchase a full-blown merchant's account try using ClickBank.com.

I have tested several compilers. I considered ease of use, product cost, and functionality. A good compiler runs in a browser generated on the fly. I found that the price had very little to do with the quality of the software.

Overall the best HTML Compiler I tested at any price is the "Active Ebook Compiler" written by Sunil Tanna. It's also one of the cheapest products I tested. Not only is the software great and easy to learn, the security, documentation and support is the best I found anywhere at any price. This is the program I purchased.

"Active Ebook Compiler" comes with a unique feature that assigns an ESBN number to each ebook compiled. The newest version adds many additional features making this one of the most customizable and flexible compilers on the market

The free demo is fully functional; you can create and distribute unlimited ebooks with the free demo. However if you want to sell your information products you can register the software for only $29.95.

Customers can become affiliates free and earn afull $50% commission on each sale. You can compile an affiliate link into your ebooks.

I created a demo ebook compiling my Traffic Seeker submission software web site. It only required a couple of hours to produce an ebook using pages I already created earlier. I followed the step-by-step instructions from the USERS GUIDE on the HELP menu.
