    About this ebook

    I am a computer programmer and all my eBooks on Smashwords.com are qualified for a Premium Catalog. In this book I share my knowledge about the technical side of self-publishing.
    There are three critical steps for creating a perfect eBook:
    1. Creating a perfect HTML file
    2. Creating a perfect epub file by editing it manually.
    3. Creating a perfect table of contents by editing the toc.ncx file.
    My eBook explains step by step and in detail how to perform all these critical steps.
    My eBook includes 68 screen shots.
    It may sound too technical, but don’t be afraid to become a master of your craft. Just follow my steps.
