I wanted a tool to generate professional-looking ebooks from HTML, so I built one.

EPublish takes minimal HTML and outputs epub files, ready for uploading to book publishers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The epub files can be transformed to PDF using Calibre for print editions.

When writing a book, you'll likely want several formats for editing, review, and promotion. EPublish can generate them all from one source HTML file:

* Prod: The production ready version with all front- and end-matter, with no promotional chapters

* Promo: A promotional copy without any front- and end-matter, but with any promotional chapters

* Draft: A version of your book for reviewers, with only the content, no front-matter, end-matter, or promotional chapters

Poster here: ask me anything about EPublish or book publishing in general.
