Thanks for sharing! One of your questions was about laying out the ebook.
For my own, I started with InDesign but found it too painful to use (I only used it for the cover). I used LaTex (since I had some math equations) but the benefit is that it's all plaintext and easy to modify with quick scripts. It also gives you really nice typography. Again, this is probably most useful if you end up having math equations inside :).
- macournoyer_ 17y agoAww yes I need to learn LaTex :/
- kalid 17y agoYeah unfortunately there's a steep learning curve, but worth it for anything math-related. Here's a sample chapter laid out with LaTeX: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://betterexplained.com/ebook/MathBetterExplained.Preview.pdf http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://betterexplained.com... The #1 rule is to not use the default styles unless you want your book to look like a master's thesis.
- citrik 17y agoQuick, Someone write an E-book on LaTex ;)
