Building you own e-book

Hello

does anyone know of a non-techie tutorial that would show me how to build my own e-book. I've found a couple, followed the intstructions, built the files and then... they send me to the command prompt. After which point I get a selection of interesting errors which mean nothing to me, give up and try a different one.

Is there a way of creating a .mobi or .epub book from scratch that doesn't involve having to know how to use the command prompt or well... presumably it's whatever dos is called now.

I'm reasonably savvy - I can code a basic website and I understand how the file directories work, I just don't seem to be able to find instructions for a non-techie as to how to go about zipping them all together.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this I just thought there might be someone like me knocking round here whose worked it out and would be able to explain it in the language of the techincal dunderhead.

Cheers

MTM
