Creating EPUB E-books Using EPUB Editors and Converters

Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli

Summary

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

My Grape Escape

Laura Bradbury

In My Grape Escape, twenty-six-year-old Laura steps off the path to a prestigious legal career in London and into a Revolutionary-era ruin in the Burgundian town of Beaune with her new husband, Franck. Is this split-second, life-altering decision profoundly wise or utterly insane?
Laura's idealistic visions of bicycling through French vineyards with fresh baguettes under her arm had not included steaming plates of veal brains for breakfast or taming an electrician named Tin Tin. Still, as Laura learns the art of bartering for antique furnishings and rekindles her romance with Franck, she gains a newfound perspective. Will running from the law to the vineyards of France trump the expectations she has long held for herself? Find out in My Grape Escape, book two in Laura's popular Grape Series.
PRAISE FOR LAURA BRADBURY
"Bradbury's Grape Series feels like a series of honest and funny letters sent from a friend about her fascinating (and sometimes baffling) life in France. A beautiful read."
—Janice MacLeod, New York Times bestselling author of Paris Letters and A Paris Year
"Bradbury's Grape Series takes the reader on a romantic adventure into the heart, soul, and people of la belle France. Filled with delicious food, love, and laughter, Bradbury's writing proves that you have to dare to follow your heart wherever it leads you…and that sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone to truly live."
—Samantha Vérant, author of How to Make a French Family and Seven Letters from Paris
