Tip #1 Links

Would you like to add cool functionality to enhance
your eBooks? Here are a few ideas! You can create links
in your eBooks to give users access to:
? Study guides
? Study groups to share notes with colleagues or classmates
? Related books to buy
? Related classes to attend
? Supplementary materials for teachers
? Online games
? Real-time information on the Web
? Technical specifications
? Software downloads
? Online book groups
To embed links, simply click on the link tool and type
in the URL desired.


Tip #2 Embed those fonts !

Want to maintain the visually-rich look of your books
when you convert them to eBook format?
It?s important that you embed fonts so that the
proper fonts and formatting that you chose for the
book stay intact. The Adobe type library is fully
embedable.
To embed fonts make sure that the ?fonts? tab in
the Distiller job options in Acrobat indicates that
fonts should always be embedded, as well as the Base
14 fonts. Subsetting is also recommended if you are
creating a file that can be ?booked? or linked together
before turning into a PDF. See page 12 or 33 in
How to Create Adobe PDF eBooks

Tip #3 Fit to Width

When creating oversized eBooks or eBooks with small font size, you can prepare the book so
that it automatically defaults to the fit-to-width viewing feature when you view it in the Adobe
eBook Reader. This way users can automatically read the book in the best way possible.
Setting the default to fit-to-width should be done with the raw PDF file before it?s uploaded
to the Adobe Content Server. To do so:
In Windows and Macintosh: go to Edit, Preferences, Display and change Magnification
where indicated in the dialogue box to ?Fit Width.?

Tip #3 Format

When creating eBooks don't save them as EXE Format Because this format can be infected by malwares save them as PDF .
PDF is the best format for E-Books .
