Business Opportunity for Your Ebook Ebooks make money on the Web. Everyone wants information. Who can resist immediate knowledge just by downloading your ebook? Ebook Publisher Formats The advantages of ebooks are obvious. They are not physical, so they don't cost anything to produce (beyond the creation of the ebook). They are stored on disk, displayed on computer screens, and sold and delivered electronically. Virtually cost free. There are several popular methods of creating ebooks. Some of these methods "compile" web pages while others produce ebooks from documents such as Microsoft Word. Here are a few popular methods: Activ E-Book Compiler converts a directory of HTML files into a self-contained Windows Executable program that you can easily distribute. The Windows program that is created is the E-Book. The Windows Executable program will work on any machine with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4 or Windows 2000, that also has Internet Explorer 4 or later installed. The author of the E-Book may also take advantage of special program features such as Password Protection (prevents users from accessing part or all of the E-Book until they enter a password). Activ E-Book Compiler supports all Internet Explorer's web browser features. You may use the exact the same HTML, graphics, Java applets and so on that you would use if designing your home page. Sophisticated, but no Macs allowed. Web Compiler allows you to take a collection of HTML, either from a Web Site you already have or maybe HTML you prepared specially, and turn it into a single self-contained "executable" file that you can use for any number of purposes. Very little technical knowledge is required to do so. This product requires the user to have the Windows operating system--no Macs allowed. Adobe Acrobat is the most reliable, efficient, and effective way to share ebook information electronically. Acrobat lets you convert any document - including entire Web sites - into an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file, with its original appearance preserved, and then distribute it for viewing and printing on any system. PDF format is compatible with all operating systems. Adobe's PDF readers are free. There are many more ebook topics you should know about. It's impossible to discuss even 5% of everything you should know in one website. You should read widely and look at what other people are doing. Spend your time and money wisely.
