Here is the list of features you get with eBook Maestro software:

Universal compiler.
EBook Maestro is a universal eBook compiler used to create any informational products (such as eBooks, Magazines, Albums, Galleries, Guides, Offline Sites, Reports, Documentations, Training Courses, Educational Materials, Tests, Quizzes, etc.).

Structured compiler.
The exclusive format of our compiler allows you to create and modify eBooks easily. All settings are sorted by their purpose and you can always quickly come back to the setting you need to make the necessary changes.

Context help.
You do not understand what this setting is for, do you? You can quickly open a tip in any part of the compiler and it will explain you the purpose of any setting.

Saving projects.
Do you create a lot of eBooks? Want to update them in future? EBook Maestro saves all settings in a separate project file for each eBook. It will allow you to come back to the created projects and recompile eBooks without any difficulties.

Stand-alone eBook.
EBooks created with EBook Maestro are completely stand-alone EXE eBooks. After you compile an eBook, you get an executable file that does not require additional software or files to work with.

All your files are in the eBook only and nowhere else.
EBooks created with other compilers may extract files to a temporary directory before starting them, which makes it possible to get your files and use them in other eBooks. Due to a special architecture, when you start an eBook compiled with eBook Maestro, your files are not extracted into any temporary directories, which protects your files against being stolen. After you compile an eBook, all its files are built into one executable file and are not extracted anywhere. Exception: files used by some embedded objects.

Supporting any files.
You can include absolutely any files into your eBooks: HTML pages, Graphic Files, Java Scripts, VB Scripts, Cascade Style Sheets, Flash Files, Shockwave Files, ActiveX Files, Sound Files, Video Files, Java Applets, etc.

Supporting all character sets.
You can create eBooks written in any languages with any character sets.

Subdirectories.
Create eBooks with subdirectories to get more flexibility. EBooks compiled with eBook Maestro can have the tree of files and directories as complicated as you want. For instance, it allows you to structure your eBook in such a way that image files are located in one directory, video files are located in another directory, sound files are located in a third directory, etc.

Processing forms.
The entire Form Processing functionality is also available in eBooks compiled with EBook Maestro. Just specify the page on a remote web server that will process data the user enters into the form. Thus, you can offer your readers to subscribe to a newsletter, send mail via a mail form, vote, take tests, etc. right inside your eBook.

Full Windows Script Host (WSH) support.
You can use the entire range of WSH and Microsoft object features in your eBooks. For example, you can use Scripting.FileSystemObject to work with files/directories, Microsoft.XMLDOM to open/save/manage XML data, etc.

Advanced script features.
EBooks support a number of built-in properties, procedures and events. For instance, they allow you to work with the registry, run executable files, open color selection dialog boxes, etc.

Storing and processing data entered by the user.
