I Googled "EPUB creator for Linux" and "EPUB creator for Ubuntu" and several different websites popped up. Most of the websites were available under both Google searches. I clicked on the first one, and it looks to be a good website. It is called Altova (http://whttp://www.altova.com/download-epub-editor.html?gclid=COL-gfW17q8CFQlN4AodSBXc0Q). The other website that I really like is called Blurb (http://landing.blurb.com/ebooks-US?ce=google_ebooks&gclid=CMO_q5u27q8CFUdN4AodpRB51A). This one charges $1.99 to convert something into EPUB format, but that is a low price to pay.
I think these are my best options, and I will probably go with the latter. (:
While $1.99 may not seem like a lot, my experience is that is better to use tools that are free (I mean "free as in speech", not "free as in soda pop" - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software). The advantages to free software include:
ReplyDelete1. It won't disappear when the company or maintainer goes out of business or looses interest in it.
2. It is legal to share it, so it is easy to develop a user community around it.
3. If it doesn't do exactly what you want it to do, you are free to improve it yourself.
So, I went looking for a free epub creator and found this: http://www.juliansmart.com/ecub
I will install that on your computer so it will be ready for you on Monday.
