The Internet has literally become the information super highway, as millions upon millions of people logon each day in search of the information they desire -- not just any type of information -- they're searching for solutions! They want to improve their health, improve their love life, improve their finances -- the list goes on and on...

What is an Ebook?
Although there are several ebook format options, we will be focusing on HTML compiled ebooks.
Ebooks or electronic books are self-contained files of HTML. This HTML may be a web site you've created or HTML you've specifically prepared to be compiled into a downloadable EXE file for distribution. When downloaded, the file will self-install on your customers' desktop.
This EXE file requires no installation and will open on your customers' computer simply by double clicking on the file. In addition, it doesn't require any special plug-ins or viewers, as it relies on your readers' browser.
Ebooks are completely interactive with the Internet and can contain live links, graphics, forms, JavaScript, embedded video, can be protected via password/userid, search capabilities and more.
This self-contained executable file can be distributed in a number of ways, including CD, floppy disk, and Internet download.
How is an Ebook Created?
In order to create your ebook, you will need to invest in an HTML compiler. An HTML compiler is a software program that will compress all of your files, including HTML and images, into one file that is in EXE format.
Although HTML compilers have provided Internet marketers with an easy way to distribute their files, they don't provide any additional assistance in creating your ebook.
What this means is that in order to use an HTML compiler, you must first create your ebook files within another program and then import the files into the compiler. This option may not be an issue for veteran marketers. However, for those new to the Internet there is a better option.
There is only one software program that will enable you to create your entire ebook -- from start to finish within a WYSIWYG ebook editor: eBook Starter
