How to Make an Epub Ebook
- 1). Convert an existing document to the ePub format. If you already have your eBook in a different file format and wish to make an ePub out of it, you can easily convert the file using specific software. Calibre is a popular, free option for converting eBook formats. Epub2Go and 2EPub are also available options, as well as online converters. This option is the simplest, though it may result in some formatting issues.
- 2). Save your eBook as an ePub. Adobe InDesign, Apple Pages and OpenOffice allow you to save your document as an ePub eBook file. When you are done editing the document, simply select "ePub" as the format of choice from the "Export" or "Save As..." options menu. If you use Microsoft Word, you can save the document as a "Web Page (filtered)" and then convert that file to an ePub using the previously mentioned Calibre.
- 3). Use an online-publishing service. There are numerous sites that allow you to self-publish your books for a fee. You can create not only physical books, but digital ePub eBooks. Lulu.com, CreateSpace, Amazon and Barnes & Noble all offer self-publishing tools to create your eBook.
