How to create a beautiful ebook (digital)? [ Edited ]

[crisplam]

Hi everyone,

I have tried to upload the word document of my manuscript in order to make it digital. However, the result is far from acceptable. It leaves pages blank. It leaves one word or two on one page and then leaves a whole space.
In short-not pretty.

How can I make a pretty ebook? Who can help me with the interior layout part of the book?

Thanks everyone for your assistance!

Hi Ana,

What are you viewing your PDF in?

I would suggest uploading a Word file of your book and uploading it to our EPUB converter. You can find tips on styling your document here: eBook Creator Guide.

After you format, just revise your book and upload that document and let us convert it to epub for you.

Your PDF looks good, so I don't think there should be any problems making it into a pretty EPUB eBook.

Let us know if you have any questions along the way. We'll do what we can to help.

I had the same problem and I had to keep reformatting my word document and uploading it and looking at it when the epub loaded up.  I finally solved that issue and now I have the issue with the NCX table of contents and my title page.

That is my only issue - can I email someone my file to assist me?

Would you email me or reply to my message. Thank you

Hi David,

Sorry for the late reply.

I have tried to upload my word version and allow the epub to convert it. I have done it numerous times and every time the result was not beautiful enough. I would appreciate if someone would be willing to help me with this.
No luck from my part.

it was quite a simple procedure and it looks OK in my reader.
I'm impressed at the simplicity of the process.

Yes very pretty.
It's not in the EPUB format though -
