What is the best software to produce an e-book?
The best software at this point is Adobe Acrobat, but things are changing and evolving so fast at this point as Microsoft Reader was just launched yesterday. The Reader is good for novels, but not for any books with photos, illustrations, art, etc. At least not yet. Acrobat will always be the king for publishers as the program communicates directly to the printing press retaining all fonts, locations, photos, etc in print-ready condition. Right now, until the Open Book Standard is completed and ready in full production the e-book industry is in severe flux and there is no one perfect one-for-all program available at this time. The OBS will consolidate all formats. When it comes and we hope it is soon. The one perfect format will be able to contain full-color graphics and illustrations with compatibility with all reading and printing devices.
