This site uses
only a few format types
.........
This site does not use or discuss the many other readers, e-book
devices and
format types that compile ebooks. However, if you would like to learn more about the many different type
eBook Formats, you can dash over to this site... to learn more..
EBOOKS DEFINITION AND VARIOUS TYPE FORMATS
THE PDF FORMAT.......
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Software must be downloaded
and installed to your computer, prior to viewing eBooks in a PDF
format. You can view PDF Ebooks using a Macintosh computer.
THE .EXE (execution) FORMAT......
This is a Microsoft Windows©
Compatible format. This type format is normally set up the same as a
web page and does not require additional or special software to view
the Ebook. However, there are other proprietary ebook compiler
(creators) publishing software that do require special type readers.
As noted above, this report discusses only the two most common. To
create aka compile an e-book in a .exe format, the documents (files)
are compressed from HTML (website) pages and collected all into one
main execution file. Simply clicking on that compressed (compiled)
file will open the ebook that has all the pages included. You then
will be able to view all the gathered pages in this one software
EBOOK product.
Imagine an Ebook like a Website you visit. There is
the first main page and with hypertext links that take you to
different pages to read.
In imagining how an e-book is created, think of it like a pie. There
are many pieces that make the pie.. The pieces of the ebook are the
written pages all compiled into one file called the E-book.
Many people believe the Ebook Creator Software will
create the Ebook for them. That is the case, but only, after
the documents (pages) have been written. An ebook cannot
become an e-book until either the information or story, to be
included, is written. Then the information (files) can be compressed
into the Ebook product by the Creating Compiler Publishing Software.
Many times people are discouraged after they have
purchased Ebook Creator Software to create their ebook, to then find
they must learn how to follow exact steps to actually create their
ebook. The steps are simple and easy to follow, yet their
anxiousness leads them into jumping in before really
understanding the very basic steps.
