I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

This is a site I built for my work.(RSD)

Page flips, corner folds, pop ups...all aggravating nonsense.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Hi Sam,

You're talking about an Ebook EPUB file or a PDF file with page links. An Electronic Book you can read on an Amazon Kindle, a Nook, or any tablet or Ereader that can read EPUB files or a PDF. To make an EPUB file is rather difficult. To make a PDF is simple. Just tell your story using Microsoft Word (or even only Wordpad) and publish the result as a PDF file by installing a PDF printer (search Google for Bullzip PDF printer). Or export your Word story as a HTML file (file > save as webpage). The last option is dead simple. Then you'll have to upload your Word HTML file to a webserver, so the whole wide world can read your story. If you need more information, just let me know.

Success, John
