Word Is Not Enough!
While many tools will generate HTML, few of them generate the HTML and CSS necessary for well formatted EPUB or Mobi files.

Includes Full Source and Examples!
The purpose of this book is to provide examples of common functionality needed for textual ebooks. The focus is on HTML that will work for EPUBs and cleanly convert to both Mobi 7 and Kindle Format 8 (KF8) files using KindleGen. Included with the examples is the source code as well as examples illustrating the out of the box rendering and the enhanced CSS rendering. Though best effort has been made to ensure the examples work on all platforms, there are limitations and some features are not supported across every platform.
