The eBook Plugin 2

This plugin turns your Typemill cms into an eBook-studio. You can choose between different book layouts, select pages of your website and generate a PDF-preview or export an ePUB.

The eBook-plugin uses the great open source JavaScript-library pagedjs by Cabbage Tree Labs.

How it works

You can choose between two general options in the plugin settings:

• Feature in settings: There will be a new navigation item called "ebooks" in the settings area. The admin can manage one eBook with content from the whole typemill website.
• Feature in pages: There will be a new tab called "ebooks" in each page of the typemill website. All editors can manage multiple eBooks from different content-areas of the website.
