If we have frustrated you uploading a DOC or DOCX file for conversion in the last couple of year, I promise you are not alone. Or the way our converter started ignoring copyright information, breaking the metadata through no fault of the person uploading the file.

So many paltry things that can cause errors like content in the Header, which our converter should delete but doesn’t always. Particularly with our DOCX to EPUB conversion. Which always bugged me because Lulu’s converter makes the process cumbersome. What changed was when I looked at EPUB code and realized it’s actually very simple. The idea of doing anything more complex than maybe a text link with HTML terrified me. The few ebooks I had read were on my laptop, borrowed from the library, and required reading for school. I say expert with quotes because, prior to working at Lulu, I didn’t even own a Kindle or Nook. EPUBs Simplifiedįor the last couple years, I’ve been the “expert” in EPUBs. Something Lulu’s converter has not done a great job keeping up with. As the requirements for devices have evolved and reading apps have improved, it’s become simple to generate an EPUB file. Calibre and Apple’ iBooks Author are both popular and free ways to have more control over your EPUB. Today, there are a lot of ways to make an EPUB. And with the prevalence of Microsoft Word users, we designed our original EPUB converter to work with Word Docs.

Despite Lulu’s focus on providing the best in print book fulfillment and retail, it’s always been important to make it easy to offer EPUB ebooks too.
