How do you guys make your epubs?

I've tried a few different openoffice plugins and standalone programs but I still can't crack full-page illustrations, title pages and other niceties. Is there a word processor out there that exports to epub properly?

I know I can read plaintext .txt instead. I just want those extra niceties to show

no wordprocessor i know of, but there's a bunch of epub converter software that's free.

I usually just get the book published in print and then download the ebook copy they give me

I think epubs can be produced by latex. It's called pandoc. I haven't used it, but that's what Google days. Also, libreoffice has writer2xml

Let us know how that works, op >>8038990

I'm using writer2pub and am getting issues like this. I assumed it was the image resolution at first, but this should fill at least a third of my screen without scaling

semi-related, why are project gutenberg's epubs of such bad quality? soon after finding a book on there i'm disappointed by all the weird formatting issues and have to go and pay $2-3 for a non broken version from itunes

>ios ibooks
it's not because of apple shit is it?

yeah, that's what I'm saying to you. I just get it published first, then the company handles the epubs.

epub more like epleb

If this is for personal use, just save this as a pdf or compressed jpeg "comic book" without your other images. You can easily read the novel illustration file before the actual one containing text
