Join Anne-Marie Concepción for an in-depth discussion in this video Sigil, Calibre, and Jutoh, part of Ebook Foundations.
- [Instructor] I think whenever you're talking…about creating e-books,…you have to pay some attention to at least…some of the more popular e-book creation programs…that are out there other than the big InDesign…and QuarkXPress, those kind of things…and I've seen them come and go…and some have been abandoned…and then picked up by other developers…but three that have stood the test of time…and that I've heard e-book developers talk about a lot…of the ones that I want to look at in this video.…First we have Calibre…and yes, that's how it's pronounced,…it's not Caliber, it even if it has a post here…about it's pronounced Calibre and why.…
The second one I want to talk about is Sigil…which has been around since I believe 2009…and then the third one is called Jutoh, Jutoh.…Just say Jutoh…and what's interesting about all three of these…is that they were all initially developed…by people who just had a passion for e-books…and they wanted something simple…to open them and edit them…and there was nothing there on the market.…
