How do I publish as an E-book a Word document?

Posted Sunday, February 7, 2010 by admin


I have a Word Document of about 300 pages, it has text boxes, bullet points, footnotes, page numbers and clip art–all thanks to Word. In print, it looks great.

I want to offer it as an instant downloadable e-book on my website and on Amazon. Amazon refers you to Mobipocket. My document is not readable on this service.

When you write an e-book what program do you use and how do you make it all work? We converted it to a PDF and that did not work either.

This just can’t be this hard, I’m doing something wrong. Short of pulling my hair out–or my husband’s (who doesn’t have much left to begin with) what in the wide wide world of sports can I do to make this seemingly simple task work?

Obviously I don’t want people to be able to print it, or forward it–steal it in other words and I want it to be available instantly after they pay by Paypal.

Thank you so much for any help you can offer.

    You should use PayLoadz.com instead. It will allow you to sell it as a PDF in their store or at your website.

    can export to PDF 99.9% PDA’s can read PDF if you can’t then you are doing something wrong use

    use pdftext.exe to dump the text from the PDF then convert it back to PDF
