Default How to create an eBook?

Hey all,

I have a text and want it to become an eBook. How to do that best?

I've thought of using LaTex to format it and then convert to pdf.

Is there another possibility without LaTex?

Many thanks!

You can also use Word or OpenOffice. CutePdf printer allows you to make PDFs from any program that can print.

You can also use Adobe, the free PDF creator I think allows you to make either 3 or 5 for free.

Here is a trick,

I use Google Doc to create all of my documents.

You can then download the doc as "PDF" -- Google Doc is really cool, and it lets you to convert the Google Doc into PDF or Word, and download to your computer. It's essentially a PDF converter.

Great tip geek.

I offer a service where I'll turn your raw content into a proffessional ebook for only $99. Check out my site: Ebooks From Blogs - Home

We mainly specialise in turning peoples blog into ebooks but can turn anything into an ebook.

Also Gazzali I think you want to use Email Marketing Software, Email Newsletters and Autoresponders by AWeber I haven't used it myself but I think it'll do the trick.

The process goes something like this:

1) Create ebook
2) Create private ebook download / thank you for subscribing page
3) Sign up for autoesponder service (Aweber, GetResponse, 1shoppingcart)
4) Log into service, create form and specify URL from #2 as the confirmation URL
5) Paste form onto your website
6) (Optional) Add on-exit popup offering free ebook / newsletter
