E-book Maker Software Review (3)

13, WinEBook Compiler 2.3

Software size: 2.42MB

Software Type: Shareware

Company website: http://superwin.com

Operating platform: Windows9X/NT/2000

The SWB file format is a proprietary file format of the software. Files in this format need to be read by the WinEbook Compiler Viewer. The software supports both TXT and RTF file formats, and the software can edit the page, such as inserting pictures, hyperlinks, etc. It is worth mentioning that the software supports playing background music. This is a very good feature. The reader can imagine the feeling of listening to music while reading a book, and can set different music according to different scenarios in the book. Other notable features of the software: the page switching effect of the file is unique. When the page is turned, the next page will be “rolled” out of the right side of the screen with sound effects, and can also control the page turning speed; the vocal voice can be read aloud, but Currently, Chinese reading is not supported; you do not need to go back to the directory to go to any page (via pull-down menus); support for zooming in and out of text; and support file encryption.

It can be seen that the software has many other advantages that software does not have, but because the supported file formats are limited to TXT and RTF, many current Web-based technologies cannot be implemented. In addition to the limitations of the software put forward the following three points, I hope readers attention: 1. No more than 100 chapters; 2. The size of each Chapter is best not to exceed 312KB, otherwise it will wait for a long time when opened; 3. It is best not to open more than 5 reading windows, otherwise there will be some problems.

14, NeoBook3.2f

Software size: 1.25MB

Software Type: Shareware (30-day usage limit)

This software is an "other" kind of product in its class. We are accustomed to importing multiple Web pages and other files such as pictures into the software, and then directly output the EXE files through editing. But the software is not like this at all. It can be said that all the processes for making an e-book need to be manually completed by the author, including text editing, insertion of picture audio files, matching of colors, positioning of text pictures, and even the page turning buttons have to be produced by the author. Therefore, the advantage of this software is that the production of e-books is completely completed by the author from the beginning to the end, and we cannot insert the edited HTML file into the software at all. Otherwise, only the source code of the HTML file will appear. The file format recognized by the software by default is TXT. In addition, the software comes with a floating editing panel that helps authors edit text, insert images, make buttons, and more. Of course, users can also specify editors for editing files in various formats. The exported EXE file will be displayed in full screen mode at runtime.

Another significant feature of the software is that it allows users to write Actions themselves. For example, if you want to implement the functionality of the page flip button, you must add Actions such as GotoPrevPage. You can also add an Action when the page is switched. The software has left us a great deal of flexibility in the use of editing, and we can create a lot of dynamic effects according to their preferences. However, the software abandons the traditional mode of inserting HTML files to export EXE files. This is not a very good thing for beginners.

15, EasyBook 2.5

Software size: 1.34MB

Software Type: Shareware (30 use restrictions)

Operating platform: Windows9X/NT/2000

The software can only import files in TXT, RTF, and EZF formats, and does not support using other web-related elements such as pictures. That is, it can only compile plain text files into EXE files. Software's ease of use does not do very well, and the options are more complex and nested, which is not the best choice for beginners. The software needs to create a project file first, then add text on the basis of this project file, and finally compile all the text into EXE file. Almost every software design can preview the current editing status. Here to note that if you are using a non-registered version, then there will be 30 restrictions on use, and can not output EXE file. So it is recommended that you register the software.

16, BoxBuilder

Software size: 476KB

Software Type: Freeware (Requires Runtime Password)

Operating platform: Windows9X/NT/2000

Download address: http://dadao.net/pub/epub/soft-down/boxbuilder.zip

This software is the simplest of the same software I've ever seen. I didn't capture the software's interface because I didn't need to scratch it. After running the software (if it is the first time running, the software will prompt for the password, this password is in the software package file), there are only three buttons above the window: selec Source Files, Create Target, Help (help document). The software does not support all Web technologies, and you need to place the image files in the same directory as the html file, otherwise the software will not automatically find the correct location of the image. The software operation steps are extremely simple (two steps): select html files (multiple choices); output into exe files. The software does not have any output file setting options, there is no protection against copying and other related protection measures, and even the toolbar of the last output exe file has only one --- Home button. Based on the above, we can see that if you want to be lazy, this software is more suitable, two steps to get!

17, SbookBuilder 3

Software size: 1.05MB

Software Type: Free Software

The software can be called "fool" EXE file creation software. After the software compiles the output file it will also report the final compression rate, but after my test, oh, this so-called "compression rate" is a bit deceptive: I use 200KB (including HTML and a few pictures) files There are more than 900 KB after the compiler output! The interface for outputting documents is also too simple. In short, I think that using this software to issue official EXE electronic documents is not a good choice. However, the software is very suitable for beginners and is also very convenient for private document transmission.

18, E-ditor2.01

Software size: 1613KB

The software's predecessor was "E-ditor Pro". It is another leader in EXE electronic document production software. The biggest feature of the electronic document produced by the software is that it can add a "Splash Screen". Other aspects are similar to our common production tools. The software uses a wizard to guide users. The software supports the use of user's own ico and bmp files as icons and logos. The software can be said to have inherited the advantages of current pandemic production software. From the settings window size (proposed a new concept: DirectX Resolutions), electronic document information, passwords, Icon replacement (32*32), toolbar appearance selection, Splash Screen, encrypted page and copy restrictions, logo selection, etc. common It has all the features. Among them, Splash Screen is a common stop screen that appears when the software is loaded to transfer the user's line of sight. This will make your work more cool!

Because the software uses a wizard approach, the use process is very simple, and friends with a certain English foundation can easily master it. The software can achieve the purpose of registration by entering the user name and registration code. Interested friends can find it or register the software directly. We think it is worth it!
