Book excerpt: This is a quick guide to understanding the epub format for ebook and publishing your own work. If you are new to the ebook world and want to learn some tricks in getting your book on the Internet then this book will give you some ins and outs to doing this. Without going to deep, I will give you some good pointers and get you going in the right direction. I give you some good links and show you how to embed videos in your books. Also, I include a short video showing you how I did it. (But there is still some bugs in Sigil so wait until it has a good support for epub3.) We talk about making your own cover using open-source software and doing it online. We will look at other software like Sigil and how it works with HTML, and will shortly support HTML5 and epub 3.
