Converting to EPUB with Calibre

- This is Calibre. A lot of people pronounce it cal-ee-bray, and that's how I used to pronounce it until I heard the designer call it Cal-i-ber. This is a really handy tool. It's sort of an e-book management library system, where you can do all different kinds of things with e-books. For our needs, this is gonna be most useful for creating EPUBs, especially for Google Play. We can use either DOCX format, or HTML webpage filtered to upload to Calibre and then to create an EPUB with it. Just go to the website for Calibre and click on the DOWNLOAD CALIBRE button. Choose your operating system. In our case it's Windows. Then click the Download button and just follow the prompts. I've obviously already got this, so we're gonna open Calibre now. When you first open Calibre it will already be populated with this Quick Start Guide. That's fine if you wanna read through this or get a little tutorial on it. You can also go to Youtube and do Tutorial for Calibre, and get all kinds of information…
