If you are looking for an ebook publishing software package that helps you both with the writing of the ebook and compiling and publishing it securely, then eBook Starter is a wonderful solution. This ebook publishing software package includes a sophisticated ebook text editor plus an easy to use HTML compiler, and is quite reasonably priced as well. The included ebook templates help you organize your ebook effectively while writing, and give the final product a professional look as well. The included publishing wizard walks you through all the steps of compiling and creating a secure ebook package.

This package includes many security features found in more expensive ebook publishing software programs, including the ability to password protect the ebooks, disable copy and paste functions, and programming in an expiration date for the ebook to be registered. There are also no hidden costs after purchase – such as the need to purchase additional security codes. And it comes with a free demo version as well, so you can test it out ahead of time. It would have been nice if there were some supporting help videos, but we believe that this is probably the one of the best ebook publishing software packages currently on the market.

eBookGold offers some great ebook security and compilation features. It also comes with a free demo version (with limited features) that allows you to try out the interface first and see if works for you. Unlike some other ebook publishing software packages, eBookGold is primarily a software package you can use to create an ebook out of an already written document, and it allows you to import your already written book into the compiler.

The software does not offer much in terms of ebook creation assistance, but it does have a lot of nice features including the ability to “lock” your ebook so that it can only be read on the purchaser’s computer and not “shared” with friends for free; advanced security features, including one-click ebook deactivation ability; and the creation of self-standing ebooks that do not require the user to download any additional software in order to read the books.
