EPUB ebooks are designed to be viewed using all common devices. EPUB ebooks are eligible for retail distribution, making your ebook available to buyers on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBookstore, Kobo, and many other retailers.  \n2. PDF e books are available for sale and download on Lulu’s Bookstore.  \nYou can sell your ebook for free on the Lulu Bookstore or you can sell it for a list price of your choice. If you choose to distribute your ebook beyond the Lulu Bookstore to our global retail partners, you will see a breakdown of revenue earned per retailer, based on the list price you select. You’ll keep 90% of the revenue, after any retailer fees and markups.  \nNote: Ebooks submitted for retail distribution require a one-time fee of $4.99 to process the submission.  \nEbook Distribution  \nLulu’s retail distribution service makes your ebook available through retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBookstore, Kobo, and more. Please refer to our Ebook Retail Distribution Guidelines for all distribution requirements.  \nCreating an Ebook  \nThe most common kind of ebooks are EPUBs. Creating your ebook in EPUB format makes your content available for a variety of devices, like the iPad, iPhone, NOOK, and Android tablets. Ebooks are easy  \nLULU EBOOK CREATION GUIDE EBOOK BASICS  3  \nto share, cost little to create, and generally are cheaper to purchase than a print version of the same content.  \nThis guide details two common ways to create an EPUB for publication:  \n1. Microsoft Word  \n2. Calibre  \nMany other programs, like Vellum, Google Docs, or Atticus can be used to create an EPUB as well.  \nThroughout this guide, we’ll refer to ‘ebooks’ and ‘EPUBs’ interchangeably.  \nEbook Table of Contents  \nEbooks MUST include a Table of Contents (TOC) . The methods for creating a TOC using MS Word and Calibre are covered in their respective sections. The ebook TOC must use an NCX file to allow readers to navigate your ebook.  \nWhat is an NCX?  \nThe Navigation Control file for XML (NCX) links the content in your TOC to sections of your ebook. An NCX with multiple chapters is required to create an EPUB file and to distribute your ebook to our retail distribution partners . When you upload your DOCX or EPUB file, Lulu scans it to ensure a properly formatted NCX file is present.  \nNote: If your file includes a TOC you manually entered (by typing chapter titles, etc.) you must remove this. EPUB ebooks with a manually created TOC will be rejected by retailers andwill not be listed for sale on retail sites.  \nLULU EBOOK CREATION GUIDE EBOOK BASICS  4  \nTitle Page  \nLike a printed book, you should include your title, exactly as it appears in your metadata, on the first line of the first page of your ebook.  \nCopyright Page  \nHere is a sample Copyright Page. You can adapt this text for your own use or use the format from any published book on your bookshelf as a template.  \nTITLE  \nXX Edition  \nCopyright © 20XX [Your Name / Company Goes Here]  \nAll rights reserved.  \nISBN: XXX-X-XXX-XXXXX-X [Your ISBN Goes Here]  \nEPUBEbooks:  \nUsing Microsoft Word  \nLulu supports the conversion of Microsoft (MS) Word DOCX files to EPUB file format.
