Creating icons
Many e-book compilers are now enabling
you to use your own e-book icon. This icon is an image that will be
displayed on your customer’s desktop. When they click on the icon,
it will open your e-book. Your icon can be an image that is related
to your product.
In addition, you can put icons for
your e-book or your Web site. This adds a nice look to your page and
helps attract the attention of viewers.
