How to Create an Ebook ePUB file (Part 1)

[@arreielle]

Great tutorial. Just learning how to use Sigil and this is helping much more than the manual on Sigil's site. Now I can get my books onto Kindle and write many more ebooks! Thanks.

[@kmhazel]

Excellent tutorial. Clear and concise... Everything a good tutorial should be.

[@xSugarHighDD]

Thank you so much for this! Now I have a functional .epub file after 1 hour of work and there was only one extra error that I encountered, so I'll just say it here for other users that might encounter it: - attribute ‘clear’ is not declared for element ‘br’ - Basically search for the line where the error is and delete - clear="all" -. Also, I use the Windows version and the Metadata Editor is in the Tools menu for us. Thank you for such a great tutorial!

[@JamesBath-is-here]

Bravo! That's a very good presentation. Thanks. You covered key points very nicely and shortened my learning curve considerably. At my age (63 going on 103) one doesn't need long, neck-snapping learning curves.

It's almost 3 years after publishing this tutorial and it's still helpfull, thanks for your time!

[@ePubIt]

Nice tutorial! May I suggest you capture full screen with the program (Sigil) also full screen? Gives your viewer a better view and feel for your message. Keep up the good work!

When I select "Clear All" in Word, all the lines that have few words in them are no longer single spaced, as if they are double but not? Any ideas would be of for this old man. 1 clove garlic, minced 1 bay leaf 1 tsp. salt Juice of 1/2 lemon Would like it to be: 1 clove garlic, minced 1 bay leaf 1 tsp. salt Juice of 1/2 lemon

I'm trying to make an image with several links on it for an e-book. What is the maximum image size I can use, (600 by 800) and what is the amount of links on an image possible? Also, what are the limitations on an image map?

[@jonhermannsson9555]

Is there a way to create a header - that has a link to beginning of chapter ? ( one that is just entered once per doc or chapter ) also is there a way to create a link in one chapter that links to another chapter ( so a link that opens another xhtml doc ?

[@tshmcog]

Your voice is so soothing.

Sigil 0.7.0 is such an improvement with ability to link stylesheets and previewer - though it's not that accurate. You can directly clean up the source code and if you want to publish to Kindle, i use Calibre to export the epub as a mobi file.

[@newberryeagle]

I am so appreciative of this, thank you so very much!

[@AdventureIQ]

Very well done! Doing my first eBook this morning!

[@robertjoseph42]

Thank you for a really clear presentation.

[@353blaze]

Great tutorial! Now that you mention it, the window for Sigil does really resemble Eclipse and NetBeans. I suddenly wish I had spent more time learning HTML and less learning Java XD

[@SoumyaSarkar]

Wonderful. Just what I needed.

[@GuitarWholesale]

Hmm, can you edit page numbers here? and Header and Footer?? I could see you had them in your original file, so what's up with that!!, I want them in my ebook!

[@chloebodnaruk9602]

what's the point of showing the screen if it's blurry?

[@deborahabdulla8429]

Thank you for doing this! It was very helpful!

[@jacklinsohrabian4630]

Thank you. Wonderful video.

[@rudolftherednosedraindeer9274]

Download? ... Thank you, that was very helpful! But - to make this thing perfect, could you possibly add a download to the created epub file to the description? This would allow those, who got burned by other ebook creation software, to check the result with their ebook reader of choice. Without investing themselves, I mean.

[@VideoedTechReviews]

Thanks, just would have been nice if video was higher resolution.

[@budism1730]

Excellent Video. Thanks for sharing. Very usefull.

[@hali9999]

where is a safe place to download sigil?

[@huuluan9828]

[@thebrutalkremlin]

THANK YOU! This is great!

[@petrosmilos2321]

Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you tried - Tarbbatigan ebook master Tip (should be on google have a look)? It is a good exclusive product for learning how to create an ebook without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.
