Vellum

A traditional text editor is not enough if you wish to publish a book in an electronic format. Vellum is designed specifically for this purpose. It can turn a large amount of text into a well structured eBook instantly, without asking for too much user input. The application comes with a wide variety of useful features, which enable you to customize your eBook however you want, with only a few clicks.

On the surface, Vellum looks like a standard word editor, but you only need to experiment with it for a few minutes and you will see that it is much more. The application is suitable for both writing a book from scratch and importing one so you can turn it into an eBook. Chapters are independent from each other. You may create chapters in a column, on the left side of the interface and edit them separately. Regardless of what changes you make in one chapter, the others will remain untouched.

One of Vellum's key features is its automated chapter dividing capability. If you open your unprocessed manuscript with Vellum, the application will automatically divide the text into chapters, leaving you to apply a few final touches if you need to. Another useful feature is the possibility of previewing eBooks on specific devices, like an iPad, iPhone, Kindle Paperwhite and others.

Vellum is not focused solely on arranging your contents automatically. Its text editing tools are also worth mentioning. Besides changing font settings, you can also insert subheads, images, ornamental breaks, block questions, verses and much more. Furthermore, the application allows you to choose from a wide variety of predefined styles for heading, paragraph and other elements.
