eBookBurnĮBookBurn is a paid web service I have been meaning to try. It was originally developed for Linux systems and has since been ported to Windows, macOS, freeBSD.Ĭalligra has included an ebook export option since 2012, although I am not sure very many people are using it.

Calibre makes ebooks which look okay, but the code is absolutely atrocious (Calibre-made ebooks have even been banned by Amazon once or twice).Ĭalligra is the office suite which used to be known as KOffice way back when.
While I use calibre to convert ebooks and manage my library, I also know that it is widely hated by many in the digital publishing industry. You can even use it to edit ebooks, although you shouldn’t distribute them to other professionals. CalibreĬalibre is known as the best ebook library tool, free or paid, but it can also make ebooks in just about any format you can name. It has always been way more than what I required, but many authors swear by it.

It is a rather expensive app and costs either $200 for an unlimited license or $10 to $30 for each title. Vellum is a macOS-only app which costs so much that I can’t come up with a good reason to buy it. (I do not have word, so I can’t tell you how well it works.) If you have MS Word you can use it to make an Epub3 ebook. This is a Windows app from The Daisy Consortium. It can make ebooks in all the popular formats and, aloing with Scrivener, comes highly recommended (although there is a vim/emacs divide in the author community over which is better). Jutoh is an ebook creation tool for all platforms (including the Raspberry Pi). I found it easy to learn with an intuitive interface that did everything I wanted, and I am still waiting for a good reason to switch to another app like: Jutoh Sigil is not the best app on this list but when it comes to free alternatives there is simply no comparison.
Here’s a double handful of apps and online services which can make ebooks (let me know if I missed one you like). Amazon may be quietly locking out its competition with ebook creation apps like the newly released Kindle Creator, but not all ebook creation apps tie you down to a single distribution channel.Įven iBooks Author can make and export Epub3 files now, and that’s not the only app authors can use to make ebooks.
