Ebook program

I’ve just started learning very basic Java programming. You have this question in the book – Write an application to display a box, an oval, an arrow and a diamond using asterisks. I don’t even know where to start. The only thing I can manage is the box and that too only by itself. How do I do this?

I want to create a store selling ebook through oscommerce. Do I need to add anything to secure it and prevent people from stealing the ebooks. How do I secure the download?

I’ve searched the web but all i could find was the sixth edition. I currently have a course in university and i’m using the 7th edition, but its too heavy to carry around all day.
Anyone know where i could find a free ebook of this version?
Thanks in advance
Ive searched download.com and probably every torrent site i know. All i could find was the 6th edition.
Please if anyone has seen a link or something please let me knw

I have a book only available in book form or as a standard manuscript that I would like to republish. I need to convert the text into some kind of computer saved document so I can publish an ebook or make the manuscript re printable. I’m looking for the most efficient way to do that. I do have a scanner.

I have an idea for a small, simple in concept utility. I started reading ‘beginning programming for dummies’ a while before I thought of this, and it was really good until I lost it less than 1/8ths through and I probably would have bought it again if it were available in e-book form. Anyway, what strategy would you recommend to someone with no experience and little willing money.

Thanks a lot!

I have a 300 page Word document with text boxes, clip art, bullet points and lots of text that I need to convert to a format that can be downloadable as an e-book. PDF does not work.

I went to Mobipocket–affiliated with Amazon-and downloaded their “creator” and my file is totally garbled and unreadable. Mobi has no phone number you can call (they’re in France) and after countless hours we’re at square 1.

The book looks great in print, but how do I or can I put it in a format that will then be available to purchase for instant download after purchase through paypal? I looked into Google but their program requires an ISBN number that costs around $300–I’d rather avoid if possible.

Obviously, I’m an idiot and don’t really know a lot about this area, but with the staggering amount of e-books available I’m thinking it can’t be THAT hard! What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your time and advice.
