    Why would you need anything other than openoffice or microsoft word? Last i checked, both will output to a pdf?

    Easiest would probably be OpenOffice, it has a built in option to automatically convert your writing to a PDF file. Why doesn't OpenOffice "suit your needs"?

      I can't seem to Hyper Link the table of content , to the individual Pages. Also I'm worried about the legal side , Which may ebooks seem to have sorted out. For example your email is in the footer of each Page.

    I use Abode Acrobat to create E-books. Works great like charm. However you can also create a Microsoft DOC file and then convert it to PDF using below website.
    Convert Word to PDF / DOC to PDF online for free. Single click!

      Microsoft Word works like a charm!

      Type your book, choose Save As, then select Adobe PDF. It'll convert your book in seconds.

      As far as hyperlinking the table of contents...no matter which program you choose, you're going to have to manually do that yourself.

      The good news is...there are tutorials on the net just for that!

      For example, I just went to Google and typed in "how to hyperlink table of contents in word 2007" (without the quotes) and a whole slew of results popped up.

      Hope this helps!

      Cheers,

      Travis

    Yeah I think Open Office is your best bet. I've used it to make dozens of pdfs with no problems.

    As for the table of contents use the tutorial Paul posted.

      There's a great little article on Kindle which was probably the best 99 cents I've ever spent " How to Publish and sell your Article on the Kindle" by Kate Harper. She goes into a nice step by step about formatting using word, adding hyperlinks and images. There's a good resource section too.

    Photoshop. Easiest to use once you know what you're doing and it makes creating professional e-covers very easy.

    I use Open Office, it does all the work I want it to do. You can make some nice stuff with it and best of all it's free!! You can also import as PDF and I believe you can even password protect it also. Great tool, even greater price
