1-Overview

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.
• management software. Validate the updated epub document for any errors again.
