#Free jutoh template kindle software#

The only two caveats are obvious: extremely expensive for someone that doesn't write books on a regular basis and that is a software exclusively for Mac, which makes things a little bit extra painfulĬlick to expand.I'm not writing novels but informational books. Just a little bigger font, maybe an extra little feature in the title to look a little bit more customized, but I'm highly satisfied with 95% of the template elements that are being offered by default The problem, as I said, is that I like to have a head start with some predefined templates and I like little tweaking, but not massive tweaking. One could say: 'if you can edit CSS level, then you could easily adapt to Sigil or other code-level software' This is really good for me because as I said, I'm disastrous on picking visual styles so I prefer the template to be done for me.īy far, is the software with greatest amount of default templates available I've found so far.Īlso I've discovered, that within the Resources/styles directory I can edit the CSS of the templates, therefore I could, for example, modify the size of certain element, like the headings. My first impressions: It's exactly the same as Kindle Create with a HUGE more variety of styles and therefore, more combinatory on the template to be applied (instead of sticking to all elements of a template, one can simply rotate the elements individually which gives an extra degree of freedom and customization in the end result) and with around 8 templates

I've had the opportunity to test Vellum on a Mac Still open to happy to see more alternatives from you

#Free jutoh template kindle trial#

I will try to get a Mac to test it (not sure if they have trial versions though) I have never tested Vellum, but I'm also wondering, despite it is not made for Windows, if it, by any means, compares to Kindle Create in terms of easy importing / fast templating + it has the 'power' of Jutoh to edit 'book wide' (for example, changing the size of a title and changing it book wide). Obviously if I'm rejecting Scrivener and partly Jutoh, then Calibre or Sigil are far from being an option, because they will be x3 or x4 the time to get the results I expect. So now I'm looking to see if there are any other options in Windows that I'm missing.

But playing with Jutoh clearly suggests me a DIY hardship.Īlso, someone suggested Instascribe, which is not free and is nearly identical to Kindle Create (or even worse) If they had a 'Jutoh Template' marketplace where designers offered template files for writters to pay and fetch, it would be great. At least Jutoh was able to fetch my DOCx file, and insert it into their formatting system in a glympse with the table of contents and everything. It feels that the work is going to be much more to get the same result. With Jutoh/Scrivener I feel that I will have to work A LOT to get something decent.īetween Jutoh and Scrivener, I have discarded Scrivener straight away. With Kindle Create I find that the result is nearly perfect just straight away, but the options are beyond limited I've tested both and I've found that the problem with this two software compared with Kindle Create, is that by default their 'templates' remind me the old first eBooks published without any spark.Īnd my designer intuition and skills are near to nothing. Searching through the forum suggestions I've narrowed it down to this two options: This said, and in case the software is just as limited as that, what other software is recommended? Or maybe I'm missing something in the tool I can manage to find. If this is intended I feel that Amazon pretends to have all the ebooks published with their tool nearly the same, based on the same 3 templates for everyone. If I would like to set the Titles to 35 points, I don't see an option to do this, book wide. The chapter titles are 29 points in one of their templates.

but I'm not sure if I don't know how to use it, or it simply is highly limited. I ended downloading Kindle Create which seems extremely straight forward, or maybe too much. I've been searching around for some publishing tools in Windows.
