Ebook Creation - II
Ebooks in exe format
An ebook compiler is software that "compiles"(converts) your ready-made HTML pages or text files into an ebook on the fly, by creating a single executable file, actually a small windows program easy to open and read on windows operative systems.
The biggest (and maybe only) disadvantage of ebook compilers compared to pdf ebook creators is that they are not readable on a Mac computer. Estimated number of Mac users is approximately 15%, which means that your exe ebook still can be read by 85% of all www users. Not too bad.
On the other hand, exe ebook compilers have some important advantages over pdf ebook creators:
- exe ebook compilers are smutch cheaper than software needed for pdf ebook creation
-
Some exe ebook compilers have built-in rebranding function
- html files can contain video, sound, script and more
If you are going to use exe ebook compiler to create your ebooks then our recommendation is " Active Ebook Compiler ($29.95)".
Active Ebook Compiler supports all file types supported by Internet Explorer including HTML, GIF, JPEG, Java, Cgi, VBScript and can be distributed on any media (downloads, eMail, Zip disks, Floppy disks and CD's). It allows you to run external programs, read and write files, do searches within the eBook and generate ebook pages dynamically.
It comes with very powerful rebranding feature, which allows you to set up parts of your ebook for easy customization. Using this feature you can allow other businesses to insert their name, web site link, or change an affiliate ID - which gives them an extra incentive to pass on your ebooks - helping promote your business or web site. This is very effective marketing and traffic generation technique known as "viral marketing".
Viral marketing is basically giving away one or more of your ebooks that contain links to your websites and products. If you can offer rebranding option for those ebooks to your affiliates, which is the case with Active Ebook Compiler, the effect of spreading your links all over the internet can increase dramatically.
The rebranding option is highly desirable feature offered even with some other exe ebook compilers, such as eBook Pro ($197), eBook Generator ($147) or Easy Ebook Pro ($67) but the Active E-Book Compiler is a true bargain and one of the best values you can find. The Rebrander software program alone is worth the price of this compiler, and all future upgrades to this software are free.
