PDF
Versus EXE
If you
have decided to write your own ebook you may be wondering
which type of format to use and how it will effect the way
you sell it. Its important to know the difference between
the two main formats so that you know which one best suits
your needs.
After
you have created the content for your ebook you will want
to make sure that you maximise your profits by using the
best format. The worst thing you can do is limit your target
market by using a format that is not compatible with certain
types of computers.
PDF
By far
the most popular and reliable format for ebooks is PDF because
its compatible with all types of computers and the documents
always look exactly the same for all senders and receivers
regardless of the hardware or software used.
PDF
documents are great for presentations as they can be navigated
by keyword search, table of contents, or hyperlinks which
greatly increases their usability. They can also be magnified
by up to 1600% with no diminishing of quality.
It enables
faster viewing and easier navigation, storing, and printing
which make it a truly global document exchange format. Its
perfect for small and large businesses alike who want to
create professional looking documents that anyone can view
with ease.
To add
to the benefits you can now brand PDF documents using software
such as Viral PDF that enables affiliates to customise your
ebook by inserting their own affiliate links allowing them
earn commissions for each sale that they generate. This
is perfect if you want to create viral ebooks that you can
give to joint venture partners to send to their list and
generate free traffic for your website.
The
only drawback is that it costs a few hundred dollars to
buy the software from Adobe but there are now many cheaper
ways to create PDF documents so you won't have to worry
about wasting a large part of your budget just to create
your ebook.
EXE
Using
EXE compliers for ebooks used to be popular because its
relatively cheap and comes with a built in brander to allow
affiliates to insert their own affiliate links which is
probably its main advantage.
But
there are some major disadvantages with EXE ebooks that
you should be aware of including the fact that its only
compatible with Windows operating systems so people using
Macintosh computers with Linux will not be able to view
your ebooks which means that you are reducing your target
market and potential profits.
Although
most EXE compilers will allow you to design your ebook in
HTML enabling you to include audio and video this also presents
some other problems because different computers and browsers
view website pages differently and will also view your ebook
differently which can make it difficult to read.
Another
major problem with EXE ebooks is that they can easily become
corrupted with a virus if someone downloads it onto their
infected computer. If they give the file to their friends
they will be spreading the virus and this is why viewing
EXE ebooks can be extremely risking.
So
if you want to create your own high quality ebook that is
compatible with all types of computers in order to reach
the widest possible audience its essential that you use
the PDF format to ensure that you maximise your profits.
A software program like Instant
PDF Generator will allow you to easily convert
your Word files into PDF documents.
