In this episode, you'll learn how to create an e-book from your manuscript, and how to use software to do the "imposition" of your book's pages so they can be printed out, folded, and stacked into a book.
EDIT: After creating this episode, I started producing my e-books using the program Scrivener , which is available for Macs and Windows PCs.
Sigil - multi-platform WYSIWYG ePub e-book editor (free; PC, Mac, Linux)
2ePub - free online ePub converter (free, web-based)
Jutoh - WYSIWYG, cross-platform (paid; PC, Mac, Linux)
eCub - freeware ePub creation software (free; Mac)
Scrivener's main purpose is to organise all the files associated with a writing project, from research to outlining to writing your manuscript. And now it outputs e-books — more easily and with more control than any of the other tools I've tried.
MobiPocket Creator - e-book creation software (free; PC)
Smashwords - (free) online e-book sales portal with their own online "meat grinder" Word-to-eBook converter (which is as brutal as it sounds, and can make a real mess of your manuscript's formatting)
Scribd - "A digital documents library that allows users to publish, discover and discuss original writings and documents in various languages."
