Creating EPUB E-books Using EPUB...

Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli

Creating E-books in epub format is very important to sell E-books in electronic book stores. Most publishing and distribution E-book stores will not accept the epub format document for E-book if it includes any warnings or errors when validated and that is a very big challenge to all authors.
I devoted this book to evaluate some tools that can be used for creating, validating and editing E-books to be in proper Epub format without errors.
Personally, I suggest the following guidelines for preparing E-book in Epub format.
• Write the document in Microsoft word as .docx file. Make sure to properly setup the h1headings and h2 headings and h3 headings on each section of the document as these data are the most important data used by the Epub management software to convert the document to epub format.
• Convert the Microsoft document to Epub format using Calibre E-book management software. Add all required metadata and the cover and also create a table of contents when converting the file.
• Using any Epub reader, check if the layout of epub document according to the headings you made on the word document is good and comfortable to any reader.
• Validate the epub document to see if it has errors and warnings using the website http://validator.idpf.org.
• Then try to troubleshoot and identify the exact location of the errors detected by the epub validator on the epub document by tracing the code view of the epub document using Sigil epub editor. Then, modify the word document to eliminate the errors. And reconvert the word document to epub format using Calibre E-book management software. Validate the updated epub document for any errors again.
This book contains the following sections:
1. Some online publishing and distribution stores
2. Epub Validators
3. Creation Epub file through online websites
4. Common software's to convert a file to Epub format
5. Converting document to Epub format using Calibre software
6. Editing Epub documents using Sigil Epub Editor

The Everest Politics Show -...

Mark Horrell

In April 2014 Mark Horrell went on a mountaineering expedition to Nepal, hoping to climb Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world, which shares a base camp and climbing route with Mount Everest. 
He dreamed of following in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, by climbing through the infamous ice maze of the Khumbu Icefall, and he yearned to sleep in the grand amphitheatre of Everest Base Camp, surrounded by towering peaks. 
He was also intrigued by the media publicity surrounding commercial expeditions to Everest. He wanted to discover for himself whether it had become the circus that everybody described. 
But when a devastating avalanche swept across the Khumbu Icefall, he got more than he bargained for. Suddenly he found himself witnessing the greatest natural disaster Everest had ever seen. 
And that was just the start. Everest Sherpas came out in protest, issuing a list of demands to the Government of Nepal. What happened next left his team confused, bewildered and fearing for their safety.
