eBookBinder is the super-easy tool to create your own ebooks using your existing documents. There are just three major steps to your very own eBook: Enter book details. Name of the book and its author, add an image for the book-cover, webpage of the publisher and other details can be entered. There is no need to fill all fields, at least you should enter a name for your book. Add text files as chapters to your book project. Every single text file you add to eBookBinder is treated as a single chapter. Give your chapters a name and order them per drag-and-drop to your desired sequence of chapters. Create your ebook. Just hit the "Bind Book" Button and eBookBinder will compile the ebook for you. That's all!
What can be added to eBookBinder eBookBinder supports several different types of text files. Next to plain-text files also DOC, ODT, RTF, RTFD, HTML, and webarchive files are supported by eBookBinder. Support of markup languages eBookBinder also accepts plain-text files written in Markdown, MultiMarkdown, Textile, Wikitext, and Smark as input. These will be converted on the fly when adding these as chapters to your book-process. Visit the preferences of eBookBinder to determine the file extensions which should be treated for conversion. All files with appropriate file extensions will be converted when imported.
Qutput formats
When compiling your book project, eBookBinder creates two different ebook formats. Next to an epub file also a mobi file will be created.
Built-in editor
eBookBinder also features a built-in editor which offers some basic editing features like setting text bold, inverse, or underlined, and alignment of text. However, the best feature of the editor is the reduce feature: select the text you want to keep and hit the reduce button. Anything not selected will be removed. This is ideal for editing web articles to remove all the advertising and navigation stuff quickly.
