This is FREE to download and use and is a simple application designed to convert an EPUB folder into a compressed. If you need to extract and re-compress EPUB files one great utility which does this is called eCanCrusher, from. Some of the files in the EPUB package cannot be compressed and you need some special ‘Tools’ to make the new file properly. Unfortunately, you cannot just Zip the files again and change the extension back to. If you work on a MAC you can rename to “.sit” and you can extract in the usual way.

I will come back to the PDF format later, as a special case, because there are some difficulties when marketing PDFs through Amazon. This makes the open EPUB structure the most important to look at in detail. In reality, most professional designers will create an EPUB file first and then, when that file is ‘clean’, and passes all tests, it is converted into a MOBI file before uploading to Amazon. And, since Amazon is probably the biggest bookseller in the world, we all think of creating a MOBI/Kindle compatible file first. MOBI is the core structure used by Amazon for their Kindle Ebook files. If you are producing a non-fiction book which has a more complex structure then a PDF files may be a better option for presenting the book. If your book contains mainly narrative text, and has only a small amount of formatting, then EPUB and MOBI are the most important formats for you. The pages are stored inside a “Package” or “Container” file: MOBI/AZW (Kindle) or EPUB being the most common.Īlthough there are many Ebook formats out there, in practical terms there are only three that you need to think about when deciding on the format for your Ebook. The Ebook contains a series of connected web pages which can be displayed using a browser. Simply put, the Ebook is a ‘packaged’ website, and an E-reader is a hand-held web browser.
Looking at the Anatomy of an Ebook will give you a feel for the overall structure of an Ebook and will give you a better perspective on why formatting your manuscript in very specific ways will help your file pass the import tests for Amazon, and other big book retailers - and make it readable on a much wider range of devices.

The first covers the principles and some useful tools for examining Ebooks. When you know what an Ebook and E-reader really are, and how they work together, you can learn how to create files that will work properly for your customer/reader.
