Well, I finally figured out all this ePub stuff. It’s actually quite simple (like most things), but you still have to run the gauntlet and figure it all out yourself, especially if you are the entire team.
The “ePub” format is essentially a zip file, with the “.zip” extension renamed to “.epub”. That’s the first key piece of information you need to know. But there are a few others.
Nevertheless, after much digital wrangling, I now have a valid ePub file to work with. My first ePub edition of What Not to Do in Business is now available at Lulu.com. Click here to go to the eBook buy/download page. The eBook can be downloaded, but it is copy-protected using Adobe’s “Digital Editions” eBook reader. That means you’ll only be able to view the eBook from a computer and only computers that have been authorized as “yours”. Yeah, I know. Kind of limiting. But this is the only way to avoid giving the entire book away for free.
Please note this version of the eBook will not play on the iPhone, iPad, or Kindle. It is playable ONLY on computers that can run the Adoble reader software. Please stay tuned for future versions of the eBook which will play on these mobile devices.
