Kindle/Mobipocket Format Where files can be opened: BeBookBookeen CybookHanliniRex BlackberryWindows Mobile SymbianPalm

Kindle eBooks are formatted in HTML 3-ish, a little bit of CSS, and some proprietary code Formatting Kindle books in Word or other formats will cause problems There is a little bit of consistency due to restricted platforms, but watch out for non- device versions To build a Kindle eBook, use Mobipocket Creator or KindleGen. Kindle eBook Construction

Keep it simple Develop a template Images: 520px wide by 610px high, <64kb Insert tables as images tags should have no tags inside Kindle Best Practices

ePub Format Where files can be opened:

ePub Format tinyurl.com/ePubDevices

Zip file with a “*.epub” extension Internal files are XHTML, CSS, and some XML Can be read on a large number of devices Interoperability requires minimizing advanced formatting ePub eBook Construction

Get familiar with the format Build a template Stick to formatting that works on the broadest range of devices For devices you have control over (iPad?) make things more interesting ePub Best Practices

Formatting Samples

“I/O error reading toc.ncx” Your NCX file has Unicode characters in it Cryptic ePub Error #1

Cryptic ePub Error #2 In Stanza for the Desktop Your OPF file is saved as a Unicode file, not as ASCII
