E-book conversion

 

calibre can convert from a huge number of formats to a huge number of formats. It supports all the major e-book formats. The full list of formats can be found here [External link] .

 

The conversion engine has lots of powerful features. It can rescale all font sizes, ensuring the output e-book is readable no matter what font sizes the input document uses. It can automatically detect/create book structure, like chapters and Table of Contents. It can insert the book metadata into a "Book Jacket" at the start of the book.

If there is one tool Autumnal Press (my digital press) depends on, it is Calibre. On the surface, Calibre looks like a tool to manage your personal books for your e-reader device. But underneath, Calibre offers much more. With this powerful management tool ,you can edit the metadata for your books and convert your books to a useable format for the Kindle, the NOOK, the iPad, and other devices. With this tool, I will take a properly formatted RTF of the original document, edit the metadata to include Author, Publisher, Cover, Tags, etc., and then covert that file to .MOBI, .EPUB, and .PDF. With those three formats, you cover nearly every e-reader on the market.
