Review of ebook compilers # 4

* Ebook compiler

This compiler offers a demo version that allows you to compile 10 files. If you don't include graphics, you can create a 10 page ebook that allows printing and copying of the ebook. The catch is that you can't sell any ebook you create in the demo version.

The purchased software is user-friendly with easy-to-follow help files that not only guide you through the steps of compiling your ebook, but also explains what an ebook compiler does. The software provides detailed instructions on how to create source files from Microsoft word 2000 and 1997, PowerPoint 2000 and 1997, and HTML documents. It contains less detailed instructions for creating source files from other programs.

This compiler allows for password protection of you entire ebook or for selected pages. Additionally, you can set a time limit on your ebook. When the time runs out, the customer no longer has assess unless they pay for it. In other words, it allows you to create a demo version of your ebook for marketing purposes.

You can set a single password or multiple passwords. Using multiple passwords assigns each user their own specific password. Online help files guide you through setting up your passwords. You can also create a Sales and Thank-you page for selling a password protected ebook. This is a good choice for the novice, particularly since it includes basic features for password protection and distribution.

The last one will come tomorrow. This gives you 5 to choose from. They all have some good features. Please leave your comments we would like to hear from you.

Hi Dan & Deanna .. it will be really helpful having all these ebook compilers to check against and see which suits us best.

Thanks for your 4th one .. the Ebook compiler ..

That's interesting that you can do a complete dummy run and get a 10 page ebooklet out - even if you can't sell it. But I see you can create a demo version of the ebook for marketing purposes - that could be quite useful.

Thanks for the information

Hilary, it will help with marketing to see how the ebook would market with the 10 paged ebook even if you are just giving it away. Worth the time I think. Thank you for your comments. Have a good day.
