---- eBook Maker Version 4.0
------------------------------------------

Ebook Maker for Windows simplifies the process of making ebooks for the TI. Requires eBook Reader installed on your TI-89 or TI-92. EBook Reader may be found at http://tict.ticalc.org/index.html.

Features of e-Book Maker ver. 4.0

- Saves program settings from last run
- Convert text files to eBook format
- Support pictures *.bin and title embedding

- Text file splitting to any size (optional trim to nearest period ".")
- Various drive function such as opening and deleting of files
- One touch drive navigation (eBook folder, desktop, My Documents, C:)

1. Simply click on the file to convert and your finished.  The file converted will be placed in the same folder as the text file you selected.

2. The title field is optional. However, if not entered, the filename is used as the default title.

3. Pictures with the *.bin extension are allowed but must be in the same folder as the *.txt file converted.

4. Converting *.89y *.9xy files back into a text format may be done by click on the TI file and selecting convert. The converted file will be named with a *_converted.txt extension.  Example if you convert myfile.txt, the converted filename will be myfile_converted.txt.

5. eBook supports splitting of files. You may split any text file into any size. While converting, if the filesize exceeds 65,000 bytes, you will be prompted if you wish to continue. You may either Cancel the conversion and split the file into smaller chunks OR continue with the conversion. TI only supports files up to approximately 65K.  Also, consider that this is only the file size of the text file before the conversion without pictures etc.  Sometines the conversion actually reduces the size somewhat because of packing.  If I'm wrong on some of the file size info, please let me know.  Also, file triming to nearest "." is now supported with version 4.0.

6. For help with creating text files for use with eBook Maker, please open metatags.txt while running eBook Maker.
