Turning a set of images into an ebook

maestroc · 10-29-2013, 11:31 PM

I have a set of 39 images in jpg format that I would like to turn into an ebook. Can I do this with Sigil and what would the process be to set it up?

Does the image format matter? Should I use jpg, png, eps, etc? All of those are available to me. Even PDF if need be.

If the "eps" is available, I assume these are some sort of vector art you created? Your best bet would be most likely a PNG export with no transparency (an Indexed image with <256 colors if that is suitable for the image).

What is the purpose of the ebook?
Is there going to be text?
Is it just going to be 39 images plopped in the EPUB? Is this a comic or something?
Have any samples you could post?

Really need more information on what exactly you are trying to do, before anyone can help you.

2 (basic) steps for images
Add existing files (you can select 1 or more image files at a time)
Place the image (the black screen icon) on a page (section file)

The hard part:
make it pretty

by setting margins and alignment
Add text and the typical book boilerplate

You can also try to convert the eps to svg.

Does it have to be an ePub?

You could make sure the images have names in alphabetical order, zip them, and rename the file.zip to file.cbz, that will be viewable with any standard comic book reader.
