NOTE: This Windows application should be written in C#. A knowledge of HTML, XHTML, and CSS is required. A pre-existing knowledge of the ePub format is desirable, but not required, as it is not a difficult format to learn. I've written, in PHP, a web-based application that takes "HTML, Filtered" output from Word and converts it to ePub and Kindle files. It does not meet all of my needs, however, and I believe a Windows-based desktop solution would be preferable. I am concerned, however, that the program will need updating in the future as the ePub standard changes, so I would like to be in a position to make small modifications as needed. I would therefore like to be involved in the development process. I am willing to learn to use C# to the extent necessary to maintain the application. I realize that "allowing" a client access to code is difficult for developers--I don't like doing it myself with my own projects--so I need to work with someone who is willing to do this. I also need to work with someone who understands the need for extensive and descriptive comments in code. This program should do the following (not a complete list): * Allow a user to import a Word-generated HTML file and convert it to a ePubCheck-valid ePub file, followed by a Kindle .mobi file (using Kindlegen). * Allow a user to import an existing ePubCheck-valid ePub file and make modifications to both the metadata (using a form) and the content (using a built-in WYSIWYG editor). * Allow a user to generate separate [login to view URL] files for the ePub and .mobi versions (.mobi presently allows only two TOC levels). * The Word-generated HTML files that will be parsed will be very well formatted using Word's "Styles" feature--the CSS will, for the most part, be generated, but will need to be edited for better functionality. There should be functionality to make these changes. Additionally, the ePub and .mobi files will require two slightly different CSS files. * The Word-generated HTML files will have some problems, such as lists formatted in HTML as paragraphs, rather than using the UL and OL tags. These issues will need to be resolved in the conversion process. I've tried using Jutoh, a program similar to what I'm trying to create, and it has not produced the desired results. I have also used Calibre, and it inserts a great deal of undesirable code into the revised books. It is necessary to produce an absolutely clean ePub file which passes ePubCheck and cleanly converts to .mobi (with adjustments to certain files). Please elaborate, in your proposal, on any experience you have had in the areas necessary to produce this result, including any experience you have in parsing HTML and/or CSS.

Greetings, I have read Project Description & understood the requirements of your project, technically there are no hurdles/issues, in fact one of my team can immediately start this project but my main concern is that your budget is very low, so please drop me a message thru' PMB, if you are flexible to work with our team, as we can deliver you high quality work, good communication & long-term commitments. However, our bid is just a placeholder since Freelancer requires to submit the proposal but once you respond us, we can then finalize it. I can show you some of our past work on your request, as most of the clients don't like that we post Application URL's in this initial bid post. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, YK LEADconcept

Dear Sir/ Madam, My name is Henry - the owner of PHAMTECH Co. My team is really interested in this project as it is exactly within our scope of expertise: We are web/ app design & development company located in Hochiminh city, VIETNAM. Working with a team who has both in-house DESIGNERS and PROGRAMMERS means that you can take advantage of both: Our designers could help revise the design even in coding process, which is a GREAT benefit for any ongoing project. + We plan and build. We don't use prebuilt templates which produce conflicting codes and bugs and hurt the system in the long term. + Our team is 100% in-house. We don't outsource projects elsewhere. So you pay for the real service - not marketing fee. In short, if you need an experienced team who offers *real English* communication, beautiful design & optimized code, premium after-service, in time and to budget, then we are the choice. If you need something based on solely ONE of the above criteria, then we're still happy if you decide to give another freelancer a chance. Just bookmark our Freelancer profile https://www.freelancer.com/u/phamtech211.html and come back in case the selected freelancer can't meet your demands. Best wishes, Henry.

Hello, Some time ago I've started such Windows application on the C#, which the functionality which is very similar what you required, but with lot of features. The application wasn't totally completed though, because I've started another, more promising and profitable project for myself :-) related with online trading. For a case if you may be interested, we could have some discussion and probably work together. Well, I'm not very interested to earn an 'easy'/small money for such development, but I may have ideas about our possible partnership for that (considering that you are developer yourself, correct?) So we could share the present code, results etc. I think some amount should be financing from you as 'your share') but I'm not sure in accurate value (will have to consult with some others who may be interested in, sorry :-) At the time when I started this application they informed me about it has strong potential and its good market, so I won't be willing to share or develop for small amount at all. Anyways, we could discuss and have contact. Best regards Igor

I am glad to see this project,. I made an EPUB generation software for Osho Inernational. They have hundreds of books in multiple languages using a specific format in .doc and .docx files. I made the system that would parse the word documents, pick up TOC, and via form feed in the ISBN, Copyright, cover image, end pages to be attached to the book. Then by getting additional data from the database, creating the "validated" .epub file for a book in 5 seconds. For mobi, used Kindlegen. In your case: 1. Clear. But for .MOBI, I assume you will open .epub in Kindlegen so it becomes .mobi, rather than me coding for it. Please confirm. 2. Clear. When you say modify the content, do you mean the whole ebook content? 3. Ok. 4. I assume you want the possibility to modify the .css files of .epub and .mobi. Please confirm. 5. Clear. Best, Angel

Hi I have 10 years of industry experience in ASP.net, C#, VB.net, SQL Server, Oracle and Crystal Reports. Moreover, I have good command over CSS and HTML. However, i don't have any experience of ePub. I work for telecom company where my job is parse files of different formats like CSV, XML, word, excel and txt files. We written our own C# parse to perform this task. After parsing the data is then stored in the Oracle database for further use. Since i have extensive experience in file parsing therefore I hope that the parsing of HTML or CSS files will not be difficult for me. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Farooq
