Homework 6
Create an e-book in ePub format
- We suggest to use the Calibre converting tool (or similar), but you also can "handcraft" the e-pub file or use an authoring tool like Sigil i.e. write a text from start (including some copy/paste).
- You can take contents that you didn't create yourself, but your name must appear in the e-book, e.g. as the creator of e-book version
- If you aim for a high grade, turn in an optional report that describes the intended audience of the e-book, its making (shortly) and other useful comments you may have
Calibre's help should include enough information to get you started. Before picking up one tutorial, please have a look at the The official "Grand Tour Video"
Finally, EduTechWiki also includes a E-book conversion with Calibre article, however the only useful information so far concerns cleaning up HTML
Due: Before start of class, Monday week 7
