Key features
Convert HTML and HTM files to EPUB
You add .htm or .html files and the program produces standard .epub output. The result can be read on devices such as the Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Sony Reader.
Keep text, images, links and layout intact
The converter preserves the original text, graphics, images, hyperlinks and layout of your HTML files, so the book looks like the source pages.
Convert files singly or in batches
You can process one file or many at once. In the program you click Add HTM File(s), pick your files, and they appear in the processing list.
Set the book's name and author, and choose a cover image
Before converting you can edit the EPUB information, such as name and author. You can also browse to an image to use as the cover. Click Convert, choose a destination folder, and the books are written there.
