How to create an ePub e-book

The ePub is an open file defined by the International Digital Publishing Forum (idpf), as a free and open standard for e-books.

The ePub is one of the e-book file formats supported and encouraged on MeeQi.com and there are a number of ways to create an ePub version of your book.

The MeeQi e-book convertor

We are making some updates to our own MeeQi e-book convertor. Which when launched will be available for free to everyone. Where you can upload your book to the convertor, which will then provide you with your book in various e-book formats.
News of this will be released here on the blog.
