Creating EPUB E-books Using EPUB...

Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassoulii

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

Never Mind the Quantocks - How...

Stuart Maconie

In this hilarious and heart-warming collection of essays, the bestselling author reflects on a life spent exploring the British countryside on foot. 
 
From the splendor of the Pennines and the Lake District to the drama of the Dorset coast; from the canals of the Midlands to wildest Scotland, this book is an attempt to explain a passion for walking and the delights it can bring. 
 
Culled from Stuart Maconie’s monthly column in Country Walking, it’s full of the beautiful places, magical moments and wonderful characters he has encountered on his travels. It discusses such intrepid adventures as taking on the famous “Wainwright” fells of the Lake District, walking Hadrian’s Wall with colleague Mark Radcliffe, and why the most important things to carry in a rucksack are a transistor radio and a small bottle of red wine.
