People inexperienced with how to publish an eBook sometimes over complicate how the publishing process actually works. In reality, all you need to do is write your eBook with your favorite word processor and then convert it into a password protected .pdf. Of course writing your eBook is easier said than done, and you will have to find a topic and the inspiration to write on your own, but I promise my eBook Education will give you everything you need to know!

As for the actual task of writing your book, Microsoft Word is my favorite, but there are plenty of free alternatives out there if you are not a Microsoft person, for example, Open Office. When you are done with the writing, you will want to have someone proof read it for you, and give you critique.

Depending on the outcome of this process, you may want to spend some considerable time re-writting and editing, otherwise it is time to take your book to market.

The final step of publishing your eBook is figuring out how you will convert your document into a pdf. The best program for doing so is the original, Adobe Acrobat, but you do have other options. For example, if you have Vista and Office, Word will allow you to save a document as a .pdf, but you may have trouble protecting your work. If this is the case, try to find someone that has Acrobat and can password protect your document and block people from copying and pasting the text within it. If you send it to me, I can easily take care of it for you.
