About this ebook
If you want to learn how to publish your own ebooks, you can quickly build your confidence with this easy-to-use guide. "How to Make Ebooks for Free" contains loads of screenshots to show you how to create ebooks on your own computer (Windows or Mac) in minutes.
Importantly, you can do this without first agreeing to conditions on your copyright as expected by online retailers offering “free” conversion of Word files to their designated ebook format.
"How to Make Ebooks for Free" is the perfect first step for writers who want to take charge of their work by freely copying, emailing or uploading ebook editions of their writings.
This handy guide assumes access to the internet and Microsoft Word, although Apple's Pages, OpenOffice or LibreOffice can be used instead. Only basic computer skills are required. (Global edition in American English.)
