Tips for buying an Ebook Maker
"
Among people aiming to reach an extensive audience with their texts and/or audio-visual materials, Ebooks are rapidly becoming an extraordinary method. Apart from them, webmasters who are keen on promoting websites and retaining visitors, publishing ebooks and distributing them has become a profitable trend.
If you have written an ebook and are looking forward to publish them, sooner or later you will probably be faced with a dilemma of choosing an ebook creator that best meets your needs and also comes within your financial budgets.
Here are a few things that you may want to ponder before you make a purchase.
1. Make sure that your ebook maker can compile different file types such as audio, video, mp3, Flash and other multimedia contents apart from a simple HTML or a text file. Whether you should create your e-book as a Pdf file or .exe file is another issue. I would rather have them in a separate exe format because they generally don't require you to install any other software to run them.
2. An ebook maker that anyone purchases should be easy to use and shouldn't require special knowledge.
3. Also make sure that you don't require other softwares to read your ebook. Buying an ebook maker to create an ebook and then purchasing another software to run it would be unthinkable. Readers of your ebook would surely want to avoid buying and then installing softwares just to read it.
4. Do check out what other features are attached to your ebook maker. Does it have TOC generator or for that matter a cover page generator?
5. Also keep in mind that the ebook maker that you choose has functionality to allow you to prohibit others to copy or print your contents.
6. You may also want your ebook maker to be able to create compressed ebooks easing your readers with smaller disk space and download bandwidth.
7. Remember that ebooks are generally created with different expiration modes so that readers who are using your book for a trial period are unable to access them after that. Does your ebook maker have this feature?
8. Lastly, don't forget to check the system requirements. You probably wouldn't want to change your operating system run an Ebook."

As someone who is new to this whole thing, I find myself somewhat timid when it comes to writing down my thoughts. On the other hand, I have always wanted to write a book. What would you suggest I do?

Some people finda that by writing their thoughts down every day helps them not only get in the habit of writing everyday but also helps them define what they want to write about. Pick a topic that you know the most about and ask yourself (and some friends) what about that topic would they be most interested in knowing about.
I ran across an article on this not long ago. I'll see if I can find it and I'll post it here.
