Type of Ebooks
Ebooks come in a variety of formats including self-contained executable
files known as .exe files. But the most popular format used is called
PDF or Portable Document Format. This format was developed by Adobe
but requires that the reader downloads and installs Adobe Reader - a
free software from Adove. The next popular format is HTML which is used
to make all webpages found on the Internet.
Lets see what these two formats are all about:
The greatest advantage of using PDF is that it will retain the original
formatting of the author regardless of where its used. This is very
important from the publisher's perspective as he or she would want the
reader to see the book the way it was intended to look like. PDF format
ensures that all formatting details are reproduced accordingly. You
can insert bitmap images, vector images, sounds, fonts and be sure that
all of that will be rendered correctly on the users' device. PDF also
has a great compression ratio for images and sounds and will render
fonts crisp clear even when enlarged at 500%. Like with all digital
formats, PDFs can be stored digitally and can be delivered on-line.

HTML
Hypertext Markup Language ebooks are basically an entire website bundled
into an application that can be read just like reading anything else
on the Internet. Because this web based its 100% interactive with the
Internet unlike using PDF. You can incorporate all the gizmos you want
like Flash, Javascript, DHTML, XML, Video or whatever you heart desires.
Since its not limited by technical constraints you have unlimited creative
freedom and the ability to give authorized affiliates to incorporate
their own sales messages which makes this very versitile. The only drawback
may be the security of your work since its web based and thus can be
duplicated. But some new software have built-in encryption features
to prevent unauthorized duplication.
