Calibre Tutorial: eBook Management, eBook Editing, Kindle Publishing

[@MrJohn013]

I think this is a great detailed video. Someone like myself, who is in the process of writing a book and looking at all of the options this is a treasure. You really detail how to use this program. Thank you. Please ignore the trolls. It seems some people have nothing better to do than to spread negativity. GREAT CONTENT!!!!

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+MrJohn013 Much appreciated! I'm a Kindle Publisher and Marketer for clients myself and not everyone wants to use Adobe InDesign especially if they're Indie authors.

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+MrJohn013 Thx so much for watching and glad you got some value out of it! I really feel that self-published authors can get immense value out of this free tool.

[@amyo]

[@kimberlyannklasnicofficial]

This was sooo helpful!! Thank you soo much! Can I upload the epub file instead of mobi to Amazon??

[@kornisonkiseli3248]

I don't even publish books but watched the whole thing. Great tutorial.

[@fisherman7633]

Thanks for sharing. QUESTION: How do you save what you've edited? FOR EXAMPLE: You change a sentence. Or split a paragraph. Thank you very much.

[@richardbedard1245]

I'm glad someone finally explained Calibre. I will have to watch this video several times because you covered a lot a new material. I'm wanting to publish a book I wrote and I want to use Calibre and Kindle Previewer. Thank you.

[@noahriding5780]

Is there a basic template structure to produce a small book quickly, such as a picture book? If there are templates in theory you could produce something without knowing a lot of programming or settings. Thanks.

[@AndreAranha01]

Thanks for the tutorial. What would be the best practice for typing source code in a programming book?

[@noahriding5780]

Can Calibre solve the problems where traditional word processing and document preparation of manuscripts mess up when it tries to convert the formatting to phone and tablet viewing? This particularly gets messed up on picture books, and when pictures are in a document. You go to upload it onto Kindle publishing, and it has to convert the format. And the iphone, tablet format isn't the same as traditional desktops and books. So the formatting gets screwed up there. I'm hoping this can work for solving that. Or at least improve it.

[@leslieshields2607]

Great info... seeing this is 2021.. Are there any changes to the software and how it is used?

[@revilotandayu7764]

How can I export the books in kindle then edit in Calibre?

[@gitakrishnan3343]

How to mark the sentence for reference? Do we have options to mark in colour?

[@Shystichu]

Thumbs up for referring Stephen's course. He's the man.

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+Dreighen Yeah he's Awesome! KMoney Mastery got me into the Internet Business World.

[@Young_Mon]

Dang idk how to use html….does this mean I need to get adobe creative cloud indesign??

[@BillGraper]

I learned HTML in 1997 from a book I bought. It's really simple. Everyone should know HTML. I learned it pretty quickly to make a fan page for a celebrity.

[@lazyturtle9357]

Multi tasking while listening to this tutorial and you had my most attention 100% of the time - so BIG thank you for creating this great tutorial. You rock! P.S. Hope you are feeling better.

[@techtoolsreview9192]

Thanks for watching and I'm much better now since making this video :)

[@inv3st_eth839]

Hi i have a greater problem... please help .... When I download any book in Epub format from 3party websites and then convert it to Mobi by Calibre... after sending it to Kindle .... the PAGE COUNT is showing WRONG.... for example there should be 300 pages, but it is shown near 2500 pages... and when I turn pages... each time it is turning like 7-9 pages forward.... how can i correct that issue which is frustrating and pissing me off???

[@rdzhang]

Thank you so much for the introduction. It is excellent!

[@petite.m9509]

I’m trying to convert cbr files to pdf or epub but it cames out in black and white , how to fix this ?

[@Kwepso.]

Hey, thanks for the vid, do you know how to edit the text and background color of an ebook? you'd really help me out, trying to upload for a week now.

[@I.mac86]

Please if my book is typed on MS is it a must to save my doc as web page format on Ms before converting with calibre.

[@saxonshaman1]

Excellent tutorial, thank you

[@atodorov]

I hope you got over that cold.

[@hrvmeditation3684]

Hi, I am trying to publish for the very first time in Google Books and keep getting this same message by 50, 60 of them. I know I need to study HTML, however, can you tell me what this is and how I can fix this in my eBook. FYI, I used h1, h2, h3 for titles, sections, and subsections throughout my book. "Error while parsing file 'attribute "link" not allowed here; expected attribute "class", "dir", "id", "style", "title" or "xml:lang"

[@Leverquin]

so what is with epubs

[@SnazzyButterfly]

I know this is a 3 year old video, but scrivener works just fine on linux with wine. I used the latest version of wine under play on linux and it installed just fine.

[@ethanrodriguez7047]

Great video! Thanks

[@suetidwell3397]

Great information. Thank you so much.

[@baker8674]

Man, thnx for the video. Just from a feedback perspective, the video kinda took some more time than needed. But in the HTML part, I kinda liked your view. I entered this video thinking that it would be easy to modify the ebook, but when you talked about how all books are on an HTML format, and because of that it kinda gets hard to modify them (for the basic user), I realized that its gonna be a little more complicated than that (no disappointed, just got more realist about the task).

[@millymaker2243]

Excellent overview - thank you

[@ibrahimdes]

Do you know How to change the paragraph from right to left ,if you have Arabic book

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+Ibrahim Alamari Hmmm good question not sure though. Maybe the Calibre help file or website might have some answers for different languages.

[@kaushikdubey9772]

How to add page flip option in ebook for amazon?

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+Kaushik Dubey Not sure if I understand your question but I'm assuming you'd like the page flip animation. At this point I'm not sure.

[@veronikakhvan2751]

Hello) Very useful video, thank you) I have a question) Can i add a video in book in that programm?)

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+Khvan Veronika Technically you could since it's HTML based but I don't recall seeing a default insert video option besides insert image.

[@noobletzzz1267]

Great explaining!

[@rejoice.greatgracetv.7500]

Thanks for the effort. Nice one.

[@kevinfrederick378]

We live in the time when there's officially HTML5 being praised and accepted. Knowing that, is it possible to create eBooks in real hi-def (as in quality images, different fonts and sizes of text and much more) ? What is your take on that? 🙂

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+kevin frederick Tech is constantly changing so you have to adapt if you're to remain relevant/competitive in business.

[@kevinfrederick378]

Tech Tools Review thank you so much for the remark and this video. helped me a lot. Talking about adaptability, is Calibre still relevant for designing eBooks? Or is it better to move to Adobe InDesign?

[@techtoolsreview9192]

+kevin frederick I use Calibre for most of my clients, however if you want the best formatting compatibility and overall standard tool in the Publishing industry, then Adobe InDesign.

[@noahriding5780]

You asked what your take is on that... right now the biggest problem seems to be that the formatting between traditional documents and books doesn't easily convert to tablets and iphone viewing options. So when you create an ebook, the formatting especially gets thrown off for picture books. This is the problem now many people have.

[@BOUNETHONE]

Very good one

[@K1Vm4n]

I found it very difficult to focus on the content you are trying to deliver. I wish I could share my observations in a private message, but since I don't know how I'll just post them here. - Recording an instructional video when you are sick is perhaps not the best idea - your voice gives away you are well congested and it does not sound great at all; the recurrent sniffing is distracting and annoying. - Given the video is titled " Calibre Tutorial" there is way too much irrelevant information at the beginning - the first mention of "Caliber" per se comes after 5+ minutes of rambling. (I understand that there is value in comparing some of the most popular tools available for people in this line of work, but I think it maybe made more sense to produce a separate video about all that for the interested audience, instead of cramming everything into one session.) - There is a lot of verbal debris and bits that don't add anything significant or lead anywhere. The narrative feels scattered too. 29 minutes is a lot of time for a tutorial; I think everything you talked about in your video can be covered in half as much time. I am not a pro. Not even close. But if tutorials is what you want to be doing for a living, or for now, I thought feedback from an average user might be useful. It is, after all, very neat that you spent your time to share your knowledge with others.

You spoke my mind

Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Tarbbatigan ebook master Tip (probably on Google)?

[@billinrio]

It takes you too long to tell us that if we don't "know" HTML, we can't use Calibre's editing tool, so we need to "go out and learn it". That's deal breaker for me.

[@UCDupleix]

this video is wayyyyyy too long for what it is
