does anyone know how to create ebooks in epub and kindle format.
I actually went through a tutorial on http://bbebooksthailand.com/, but when I created mine, it refused to open in ADE. I validated it at IPDF validator and I got some errors and warnings. But the errors and warning are confusing. The validator said I didnt declare my book chapters in the content.opf file, but I did declare them. I dont know whether it's from zipping. But i used zip.exe to run a command and zipped the file to epub format, but ADE is not opening it, saying error.
I tried contacting bbebooksthailand.com for assistance, but they said i will have to pay for consultation.
Can anyone help me with any idea on how to successfully create, zip and open ebook in epub?
Create the epub using a text editor or free editor (calibre). Then the chapters are declared in content content.opf BUT you need to also set up the toc.ncx to include the chapters or else it either won't work or if the playorder is incorrect the book will behave odd e.g. missing chapters, skips chapters etc.

Thank u pls.
I use Calibre to create e-books. It's free and supports a wide variety of formats which are listed in their user manual.

Once the epub is done, use http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765261 to make the kindle version.
I normally copy the final epub and adapt some css to suit the kindle quirks
The #eprdctn folks are very helpful and http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Main_Page
