Tools for creating e-books (self.Blind)
submitted by lknop
I'm just starting out as an author and am looking for an accesible tool to create e-books as epub. Do you have any suggestions?

Epub is basically HTML zipped up. So you can theoretically use your editor of choice, MS WORD, Markdown etc. I think the KDP program accepts word documents too

Thanks for your comment. I'm not much of an expert in HTML. So, I don't think I could build an e-book from scratch, at least not without a template. You can convert word documents into e-books using Kindle Create but not with a screenreader. I tried that, and there's simply no feedback at all.

You can save into HTML direct from word. I think people use word as a creation tool because it allows for heading structure etc.

$1 can be a good option to consider if you use a Mac. It's free (if I'm not wrong), accessible and easy to use.
