I dedicate this book to my beautiful wife, Cassandra. With her, my life is full and would be empty without. God has put us together and kept us together while our love has only grown. Nearly 20 years ago we met, and it seemed that we were the only two souls in the world because it felt as if Id known you forever. The world did not exist, and we knew we would be together always.
Along with my wife I also dedicate this book to our children, all fourteen: the seven we have and the seven lost before birth. To Devyn, Logan, Caleb, Eilly, Alyse, Morgan, and Grant: you were all loved, even before you were born, and with love you endure to face this world. Never give in to the world, for you are always loved. All of you are in my heart, never to leave it.

Acknowledgments
I acknowledge my family, who worked with me to get this book completed. Without their support, this project would not have been finished; my wife Cassandra, who helped with editing, and my son, Devyn, for his research and technical editing. Their help made the content better than it was originally.
I also need to give a very special thanks to Roger Stewart at McGraw-Hill for believing in my proposal, and a thanks to Amanda Russell for answering my never-ending list of questions. Also, the others at McGraw-Hill who edited my content even more and placed everything together. Thanks to Melinda Lytle for the figures I needed enhanced.
Special thanks to everyone at Rons Place: Ron, Bobby, Jan, Tanya, Chad, Jen, James, Jim, Big John, Sylvia, Darlene, Stacia, and the rest of the crew. They were there when I needed a break to go play billiards with my wife and eat the worlds best pizza, the Strom Pizza. Thanks again to all our friends at Rons!
And last, but greatest of all, I thank God for all He has given me, my wife and children, my only loved ones. Through Him all things are possible. I would not have been able to write this book without Him.
Introduction
T he market has seen an explosion of reading devices. The devices use two main file formats: EPUB or AZW (Kindle). Would you like to create and manipulate these files? If so, this book is for you.
This book takes you through the processes of creating and manipulating the EPUB files with embedded fonts, images, audio, and video. EPUB files can be used to create not only books, but magazines, pamphlets, brochures, and whatever else you may need to make. This book also covers the details of converting the EPUB to a Kindle format so you can cover all devices by creating only one e-book.
Why This Book?
I attempted to not only show the basics to someone who has no prior knowledge of HTML, CSS, etc., but to allow the book to be used as a reference for those who do know the subjects. I also wanted to give examples and allow a reader to create their own files without requiring expensive applications. I found all the free software listed here to accomplish everything covered in the book:
