The comparison worth making
Not us against a competitor — us against the work.
Every job below has to happen whichever way you make an ebook. The question is only who does it, and how many evenings it costs you.
Deciding the title
By hand —A shortlist in a notes app, argued over for two days and settled by whoever cares least.
Here —Nine titles drafted from your subject, three more on request, and a field to write your own over the top.
Structuring the book
By hand —A blank document and the growing suspicion that chapter four is the same as chapter two.
Here —A drafted outline you cut, rename and reorder, with one line under each chapter saying what it does.
Writing the chapters
By hand —Three good evenings, then a fortnight of not opening the file.
Here —A first draft written from your notes, editable on the page, so the work is rewriting rather than starting.
Typesetting the pages
By hand —Word or Google Docs, default margins, a line length nobody can read comfortably.
Here —A print typesetting engine: real measure, proper margins, consistent hierarchy on every chapter opening.
The cover
By hand —Canva, a stock photo, and forty minutes discovering the title is unreadable as a thumbnail.
Here —Six typeset cover styles, plus artwork drawn to order in a named art direction when a template is too plain.
Checking your work
By hand —Export, open the PDF, spot the widow, go back, repeat until the will goes.
Here —The PDF redraws beside the editor as you type. Nothing is a surprise at the end.
Getting it to readers
By hand —A file on a Drive link, and a landing page still on the to-do list.
Here —A hosted opt-in page with the cover, the promise and one email field — live the same afternoon.
Selling it later
By hand —Remaking the file at the right trim size for KDP, badly, in an evening.
Here —The same export uploads to Amazon KDP, Gumroad or Payhip unchanged.

Who it suits
Best for people making one good book, not fifty.
This is ebook creation software for the person who has something worth writing down and no appetite for becoming a typesetter to prove it. Consultants, coaches, agency owners, product marketers, newsletter writers — anyone whose expertise currently lives in calls, decks and Slack threads.
It suits you if the book is a means to something: a list, a call, a reputation, a small line of income. It suits you less if you are publishing a novel, where reflowable EPUB and a specialist editor matter more than a landing page.
Where to start
- Building a list? The lead magnet creator is the page for you.
- Want to see the drafting work? The AI ebook generator walks through it step by step.
- Prefer to start from a known shape? Five ebook templates, with the chapters written out.
- Rather do it by hand? The seven-step guide holds nothing back.
Questions
Choosing an ebook maker.
- What is the best software for creating an ebook?
- It depends on which half of the job is hard for you. Design tools are good at covers and bad at 30 pages of body text. Word processors are the reverse. Publishing platforms handle distribution but not writing. CreateEbook covers the whole chain — draft, typeset, cover, export, opt-in page — which matters most when the book is a lead magnet rather than a novel.
- Is there a free ebook creator?
- CreateEbook is free while in beta: every feature, no credit card, no watermark on the file you export.
- Can I make an ebook without design skills?
- Yes. The decisions a designer would make — measure, margins, type pairing, hierarchy — are already set. You choose a cover style and edit words; the layout is not something you can accidentally break.
- Can I import a document I already wrote?
- Yes. Upload a PDF, Word file, Markdown or plain text and it becomes the source for the outline and the chapters, so a draft that has been sitting in a folder for a year becomes a finished book rather than a restart.
- What do I get at the end?
- A print-quality PDF and a hosted opt-in page at a link you can share immediately. Both are yours to use commercially.
