  Creating EPUB E-books Using EPUB...

  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

  Sunrise on the Southbound...

  “An exceptionally well-chosen collection . . . the book itself amounts to a pleasurable journey . . . punctuated by pithy, profound anecdotal nuggets.” —Time Out 
   
  “Railway termini,” wrote E. M. Forster, “are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine.” 
   
  Now, in this new collection of great journeys from the pages of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph, Michael Kerr follows up his bestselling anthology, Last Call for the Dining Car, with another feast for the armchair rail traveller. The train sliding out of the station can take you back into the past—in the company of John Betjeman on the Great Western—or into an ominous future, now that China has a line across the permafrost to Tibet. The sunshine may be the late-afternoon glow on a freight train between LA and Seattle, or the sea light bathing the Cornish coast alongside the branch line to St Ives. The adventure may even be dodging death on the train itself, as Dervla Murphy does on the antiquated rolling stock of Cuba. Sometimes, too, the train tracks people’s lives, on a journey into their deepest secrets. Nicholas Shakespeare, travelling around France, pieces together the story of what happened to his aunt, who was stranded there on the brink of war in 1937. Pamela Petro, rattling down the Pacific coast of the US, confronts the demons that have been haunting her since a train crash a quarter of a century ago. From Sandi Toksvig’s commuter train to Alexander McCall Smith’s night train; from the Indian Pacific to the Maharajas’ Express; Sunrise on the Southbound Sleeper is a first-class ticket to ride all the best trains in the world. 
   
  “Sublime . . . Michael Kerr has chosen some great writers, and they whisk you to the four corners of the earth. The romance and excitement of train travel is captured on each page. This is a treasure of travel writing.” —Patrick Neale, The Bookseller 
   
  “A serendipitous collection for rainy nights, fuelling sleep with dreams of escape.” —The Scotsman

  Paul Gauguin

  Anna Barskaya

  Paul Gauguin was first a sailor, then a successful stockbroker in Paris. In 1874 he began to paint at weekends as a Sunday painter. Nine years later, after a stock-market crash, he felt confident of his ability to earn a living for his family by painting and he resigned his position and took up the painter’s brush full time. Following the lead of Cézanne, Gauguin painted still-lifes from the very beginning of his artistic career. He even owned a still-life by Cézanne, which is shown in Gauguin’s painting Portrait of Marie Lagadu. The year 1891 was crucial for Gauguin. In that year he left France for Tahiti, where he stayed till 1893. This stay in Tahiti determined his future life and career, for in 1895, after a sojourn in France, he returned there for good. In Tahiti, Gauguin discovered primitive art, with its flat forms and violent colours, belonging to an untamed nature. With absolute sincerity, he transferred them onto his canvas. His paintings from then on reflected this style: a radical simplification of drawing; brilliant, pure, bright colours; an ornamental type composition; and a deliberate flatness of planes. Gauguin termed this style “synthetic symbolism”.
