Is it possible to have a native ePub version of the book as well as PDF?

I plan to create an ePub version next week as well as look into the process of creating device-specific versions of the book, such as for the Kindle and iBook. I plan to post about this process once it’s complete.

Is it possible to have a native version of the books?

#4 Rob on 06.24.10 at 12:06 pm

This is also on my list; it’s 2-3 weeks out assuming it’s possible (from what I’ve read creating an iBook requires a Mac).

Also eagerly looking forward to an ePub version! I tried converting the PDF with Calibre, but it looks pretty crappy on my Android phone. :( I assume that folks who’ve already bought the PDF will get access to the ePub when you’ve released it?

If I can pull it off you will have access to it. Thus far I haven’t had much luck with it. If anyone knows a reliable way to go from a Word doc to ePub that maintains formatting please email me.

To create a kindle ebook (mobi format) you can use mobipocket:

it’s free and works pretty well. In fact, I bought your ebook and converted it from pdf to mobi using it ;-)

If you have already purchased the PDF version you should receive an email within 24 hours with a link to download an ePub version for free. If not, you can purchase both versions for the price of one at http://www.StartupBook.net.

The Kindle version will be online within 48 hours.
