Choosing an eBook Compiler   by Zaak OConan



What is an eBook compiler?

You`ve written and revised your ebook, hired an artist


who has produced outstanding graphics, and now you`re


ready to actually put together your ebook. What you


need to make an ebook is software called an ebook


Compiler.

There are many different compilers to chose from, but


first, you need to know exactly what an ebook Compiler


does. Here is the simple explanation:

An ebook compiler is a software program that converts


either text pages or HTML text into a single


executable file or an ebook.

If you or someone you hired has created a file with


graphics in HTML, you will need an HTML ebook


Compiler. This type of compiler requires a working


knowledge of the HTML tag language. You can also use


software to do this for you, such as Microsoft


FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver.

How do you choose an eBook Compiler?

There are a large number of ebook Compilers available


on the market, all with glowing sales copy and tekkie


language. It can get very confusing and overwhelming


very fast without some simple guidelines to help you


figure out which compiler is right for you.

Choosing an ebook Compiler depends on a number of


factors:

1. How did you create your pages? Did you use HTML or


PDF format? There are many more compilers available


for HTML, but you can find some very good compilers


that will covert your PDF files into an ebook.

2. Consider how easy the program is to use and the


thoroughness of the software`s instruction manual. It


is absolutely necessary that the compiler you buy have


an instructional manual, documentation, or online


`wizards.` If it doesn`t, your chances of figuring out


how to correctly use the program are compromised, and


the time required doing so is going to be significant.


Many manufacturers of compilers offer a free trial


version so you can play around with it and see if it


suits your needs. Download the trial version and


ascertain that it actually does what it claims to do.

3. Security features. If you plan to sell your ebook,


check out the security features of the compiler


software carefully. Security features should include:


prevention of the reader from modifying text, access


only to the pages you assign or by entering a


password, different ways of generating passwords such


as secure passwords, user-friendly, and open


passwords.

4. Supported scripting. Find out what scripts the


software supports. Scripting allows you to create


special effects, customize menus, and create and


modify other user interactivity. Choose a compiler


that permits you to include graphics, search windows,


hyperlinks, forms, surveys, etc.

5. Pricing. This is a factor that is not always easy


to gauge. The highest priced compilers are not


automatically your best choice. Choose your compiler


based on the necessary requirements for your Ebook.


That means you need to know exactly how you plan to


use your Ebook and what functions you require.

Let`s look at some of these factors in more detail.


First of all, make sure you have the correct browser


to run the compiler. The majority of HTML compilers


use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. Check out


the version that the compiler supports. Compilers that


require a browser will not run on a computer that does


not have the required browser installed. However,


there are ebook HTML compilers that don`t require you


to have any browser installed on your computer. These


compilers run on any Windows system.

If you choose a compiler that requires a browser,


check to ascertain that the browser is installed


correctly and that it is properly configured to the


specifications of the compiler. Check to see if


certain functions are turned off or on, and make any


adjustments according to the compiler instructions.

Security is an essential element of any compiler,


regardless of whether you plan to sell or give away


your ebook. One of the main reasons for using a


compiler is to prevent the reader from modifying the


contents. A secure compiler allows access only to the


pages you want the user to access unless they enter a


correct password.

To find out how secure an ebook HTML compiler is, open


an ebook on it. While it is open, check the temporary


directory of your computer. This can usually be


accessed by typing in C:Windows emp. If you see a


bunch of files when your ebook is open or running, it


means that your computer is decompressing the secure


data from your ebook before showing the ebook to the


viewer. This method is not secure! It means that


anyone with the knowledge of how to access these


temporary files can steal the secure data and then


they can fiddle with your ebook to their evil heart`s


desire. Remember, one of the main purposes of buying


and using an HTML compiler is to protect your


property.

Next, let`s discuss passwords. When trying to choose


an ebook Compiler, check out the type of passwords


that the compiler supports. Almost all compilers offer


some kind of password protection that insures that the


user can only access the contents they have purchased


from you. However, the best compilers offer varied


ways to generate different types of passwords. Choose


a compiler that gives you the options of secure,


user-friendly, and open password generation.

Another important factor when it comes to passwords is


how the compiler generates them. A compiler that has


internal password protection generation built into the


software is more secure than compilers that link to


live Internet password control systems.

Find out if the compiler generates passwords online.


If it has this option, it allows you to choose any


payment processing system you want or to do the


payment processing yourself.

Next, look into the size of ebook the compiler


supports. The best compilers can create ebooks up to 2


GB in size without decompressing the HTML pages or


images to your hard disk. Usually, ebooks that are 2


GB in size can easily support 6 GB of compressed data.


The catch here is that only text files will generally


be compressible.

You do not want a compiler that decompresses this


amount of data when the user attempts to open your


ebook. This would mean that anyone who purchases your


ebook will have to wait for all the data to decompress


before they can access your ebook right after


downloading it. So look for compilers that only


decompress temporarily files that are NOT HTML to the


local hardisk. Non-HTML files include Flash, Word, and


Acrobat files. This type of compiler is more secure


and certainly faster.

Make sure the compiler you choose is compatible with


your system software. Check out what version of


Windows it requires, and make sure you have that


version before buying your compiler.

Support issues are extremely important. Choose a


compiler that includes an installation program. This


program allows your user to choose a number of


different places on their computer to install the


ebook, to place a shortcut on their desktop, and to


add the ebook, if they choose, to the Start Programs


menu.

You also want excellent and accessible vendor support.


Make sure you can access quick technical support! At


three o`clock in the morning, this factor will be VERY


important. Also, check to see the terms of free


technical support offered. Unlimited technical support


is obviously the best option.

Check to see if the company that puts out the compiler


software offers a service level agreement. This


agreement is to assure you of their quality response


to your questions or problems.

A good thing to consider is how long the compiler has


been on the market. Usually, the version number will


give you an idea. The longer the program is on the


market, the higher the version number, the more bugs


have been worked out.

When choosing an ebook compiler, do not be swayed by


incredible promises and dazzling sales copy. Do your


homework first, and then consider all the above issues


and factors before choosing an ebook compiler.
