Shantanu Bala, creator of Ebook Glue, a new tool for creating eBooks

Interview Starts at 18:15

A lot of writers are already formatting their content and arranging their content for their blogs and for their websites. To me, it doesn’t really make sense why they should have to re-do that entire process for another device. It really should be an automatic thing, and it’s definitely possible. It just takes a little bit of work in figuring out how to make it happen really well.
