eCub Portable

This is the portable edition of eCub, an intuitive application developed to help you easily create ePub files using standard and advanced tools alike. It caters to all types of users.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the program files to any location on the hard disk and just click it to run.

It is also possible to save eCub to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the hard disk after program removal.

You can create a new project by specifying the book title, identifier and author, along with optional information such as date, publisher, contributors, subject, publisher website, and description.

In the following steps, you can write the ePub file name and assign a project folder, select the ebook types (ePub, MobiPocket), as well as choose an import method: from existing text or HTML files in the project directory, from scratch, or from an existing ePub, Microsoft Reader, or MobiPocket file.

You can use a previously created file for the design, or select one of the six templates supplied by eCub. Alternatively, it is possible to build a custom design by adding text, images and boxes, and editing various properties regarding the size and position, background and text.

As far as program settings are concerned, you can disable tooltips, alter the default template folder, customize the editor font, change the display language, assign viewers and editors, and so on.

eCub does not put a strain on computer performance, as it runs on low CPU and RAM. We have not come across any issues in our tests, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. ECub serves its purpose.
