Below that, you have the option of importing a Word file. You’re given the option of viewing the tutorial or opening the Help Overview. Once you install and open Vellum, you’ll see something like this. It even has a spell-checker which can be nice or annoying, especially if you are writing science fiction and fantasy. That’s especially true because you don’t have to open a text editor and edit the underlying HTML of an e-book like you do with other conversion programs.

Like many other conversion programs, you can write in Vellum but I wouldn’t recommend it. ![]() And, to be honest, that is the only way I managed to convince myself it was worth the money. ![]() Unlike earlier versions of the program where you could buy a license that would allow you to convert a single title or in increments of 10 (if I remember correctly), there is no limit on the number of titles now. To get the e-book only version, you’ll pay $199 and for the e-book and print version, you’ll pay $249. There are two pricing levels for the program. Vellum is a program designed to convert your word processing file into e-books and, in the last version or two, into a print-ready PDF file. However, as I noted in the earlier post, the preview function of the program lets you see what you have without actually doing the export.
