I want to do the former myself and the "free" way to create an ebook is to use Open Office - which is huge application to upload to your computer. I have yet to try but it but recently found out about Google/Docs. Like Open Office you can save a document in PDF format, so it can be opened by Adobe Reader. I recently saw a video on using Google/Docs and it seems quite simple, and its not a huge application like Open Office.
Whatever you use, you still have to write something - which I keep putting off by posting here, using Twitter, etc!
I have uploaded other PDFs to my site. You upload through an FTP or from within your cpanel to a folder on your site. Then link within the text as if you would to anything external, or a photo, just linking to where you have put the file.
Hope this helps, but say if I've missed what you were asking or want me to expand. |
Well, that's very helpful, but not quite what I was looking for. I'll give an example.
This is a friend of mine's site,
Spiritual River. If you scroll down on the right hand side, you'll see an offer for a free ebook. If you click the link that says, "Download your free ebook here", you go to
this page. It says that the ebook is free, but you have to subscribe to his blog via email or rss reader.
In my case, I subscribe through RSS on My Yahoo. In my reader, when I click on one of his articles, there is a link at the bottom of the article that allows me to download the ebook.
Perhaps it has something to do with feedburner. Perhaps I'll just ask my friend.
