![]() Short term, for the current project, I may have to just upload the manuscript file to Draft2Digital and let them convert it. But that will take more time than I have available at the moment. What I need to do for a better test is to actually set up a template for a book and import the entire manuscript, then see how well that exports. It did better than the Microsoft converter, better than LibreOffice, and better than SoftMaker Office. Vellum.Ĭlick to expand.I entered a short excerpt from the recent book project into the old Serif PagePlus last night and exported it to EPUB. When you close BBEdit there's no need to update the epub file, it's already updated. BBEdit will work with text files in-place in zip files, so BBEdit can open an epub file and mess around with its internals as individual files. An epub is just a zip file with text components plus images. ![]() With more Mac fan-boy apologies, BBEdit is a quick way to fix epub files. Mellel allows control over the cover art and the "spine," which is part of the epub navigation. Other than that, my light testing hasn't shown any other problems. Mellel's developer says that's fixed in the next release. If the book has inline images other than the cover, there's a quick edit required in the epub's manifest file. Mellel seems to create reasonable epub output with one minor oopsie. With apologies for Mac-fixation, I've heard that Pages does a good job with epub output. Kindle's can't read epub files without conversion. I've never written a book and I have a Kindle. I like the idea of creating epub files and I want that capability, but that's kind of quirky of me.
