eBookBinder 1.5.3 released
eBookBinder 1.5.3 is now available on the Mac App Store. This update introduces a new preference option, which now enables users of markup-formatted documents (Markdown, MultiMarkdown, Textile, Wikitext, BBCode and Smark) to integrate images into the documents and ultimately in the final eBook.
The new default setting is called Folders and allows to grant eBookBinder access to certain folders, so that eBookBinder can copy images linked in the documents and then transfer them to the respective eBook. When linking images in documents, it should be noted that the images are in the same directory as the document, or that the images are in a subdirectory of the directory in which the document is located.

eBookBinder 1.5.2 released
eBookBinder 1.5.2 is now available on the Mac App Store. This update offers several improvements and two new additional options.
The first new option is to include a cover-chapter. Many modern eBooks and correspondingly also eBook readers only show the cover picture briefly when opening an eBook for the first time and this cover picture cannot be displayed in the normal reader display again, since the cover picture is not considered part of the book content. With the option embed a cover-chapter this behavior is avoided and thus the cover picture can be displayed at any time after the first opening in the reader.
The second new option, matching the new option just described, is the choice of the start chapter that an eBook reader should open when the eBook is opened for the first time, provided the eReader in question also supports this function. In addition to the first chapter, both the table of contents and the cover can be set as the starting point.
The complete list of changes
New:
- embed an additional cover-chapter at the beginning of the book
- option to define which area should be opened after opening a book for the first time: cover, table of contents or the first chapter of the book
Improvements:
- various internal improvements
Updated:
- new display foundation for the help system
- Textile parser updated
