eBook Starter

eBook Starter is a compiler for creating EXE format eBooks for use on Microsoft Windows. The eBook Starter program itself is compatible with the Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP and Vista operating systems.

The main selling point of the program is that it is an "all in one" solution to eBook authoring. What they mean by this is that unlike some other compilers, eBook Starter includes a built-in text editor for creating content, as well as compiler that will convert the content in a finished eBook. This is a significant difference from some other compilers which simply convert HTML files that the user supplies (but must create in another program such as a word processor or HTML editor) into an eBook.

The built-in editor does seem to include quite a lot of capabilities including paragraph alignment options, formatting (bold, underline, italic, etc.), and the option to insert images (including JPEGs, GIFs, etc.). There are of course advantages and disadvantages to having a built-in editor, novices for example may well prefer the ease of an "all in one" solution, but it's possible that some more experienced authors, who might already have a favorite editor, might well prefer to stick to it.

The eBook Starter program also comes with a number of templates that are, for the most part, designed to look like open books or binder pages. If you don't like these standard templates, there is also option to create your own template. Other features in the program include security features, a range of customization features, and a rebranding capability (so that you can provide the capability for affiliates or resellers can insert their own links into your eBooks).
