I gather that ebooks can be created via html code and then converted into reader formats. Not sure if this has been asked before but is Freeway Pro capable of creating ebooks and if so, is this attribute worth pursuing by the Freeway powers that be? I would be interested (being a published author) and it would save me having to work in the dreaded WORD doc format if I want to sell my stuff easily on kindle. Any thoughts?

When you say ‘eBooks’, what format do you mean? Apple’s ‘Pages’ application will export in ePub format, and after Word, it’s a delight …
Let’s say I have a book that I want to publish on the Kindle I could do it in mobi format, or using e-pub rather than using DOC. But is it better to go the html web way and create stuff in a prog like Freeway and then get that uploaded instead? Just wondering - I know that word will have issues. Pages sounds interesting so I will look at that. Am playing with Sigil and Calibre at the mo.

Not sure I’m with you there; do you mean to make a website instead of a book? I don’t know of a way to make a book in HTML … but I’m probably misunderstanding what you mean.
The desktop application Calibre can convert an HTML page or folder
full of linked pages into a standard ePub or other (like Amazon)
format ebook. It’s very powerful, and fairly well documented, but the
one thing you may find a hard fit with Freeway is that it requires you
to use specific header tags to break up chapters and other sections.
It’s not a visual tool at all, it requires you to have created a
properly-structured document, and then it infers the book and its TOC
from that structure.
