The problem with Ebook compilers is that they are so many out there, which makes it really difficult to figure out which one to choose. I'm going to try to make your job a little bit easier by giving you a few pointers on how to choose the best Ebook compiler.
An ebook compiler is a software tool that changes a document into an .exe file. The ebook file thus created is a stand alone file and can be viewed without the aid of another software application such as Adobe Reader.
The big number of Ebook compilers makes it difficult but there are a series of options that you will need to take into account when trying to find the best one to suit your needs.
When you find an ebook compiler make sure it comes with enough documentation such as a manual. In this way you will be sure that you can take full advantage of the program's features.
Since your documents won't be only txt files make sure to choose a compiler that can transform any documents such as html, Word, MS PowerPoint or text into an executable. An important feature of any ebook compiler is security. Any good compiler should offer features such as restricting certain viewers or keeping ebook content from being altered. It also should prevent printing of the ebook and should allow the use of passwords or encryption methods to stop copy-write.
Also look at the system requirements for the ebook. You need to make sure it is compatible with your operating system and with other operating systems from which it may be viewed. HTML base ebooks pose another problem as well, for this kind of ebooks keep an eye out for browser compatibility.

1. The affiliate program has a great payment structure. For me, a high commission that is also a high percentage of the purchase price is essential. Nothing under 25% commissions.
2. Make sure the affiliate program you are joining has a good looking site. You do not want to be sending visitors to a site that you do not like yourself.
3. Make sure they offer a comprehensive affiliate statistics page that lists the number of click throughs, number of sales and amount earned. This should be broken down per month.
4. Also make sure that the affiliate statistics are updated automatically and immediately. You do not want to find out today about a sale you made a week ago.
5. Ensure they give a wide variety of text links, banners and graphics to put on your web page. Although I prefer text links, certain types of banners and graphics still work well.
6. Know how often you are going to be paid. If you are tossing up between 2 programs and one pays monthly and the other pays quarterly, the one that pays monthly is better. You do not want to wait months before getting paid for your hard work!
7. See if the affiliate program gives examples of how the top affiliates are doing. This can be a great pointer to whether it is good or not. If some affiliates are earning many thousands per month, it is a good affiliate program.
8. Along these lines, also see if they give examples of what marketing methods these successful affiliates are using to get the best results.
9. An affiliate program that offers a special monthly newsletter just for the affiliates is great. Here you can get extra tips and techniques that are working well.
10. See if they offer email notification when you make a sale or get an affiliate signed up under you (if it is a 2-tier program). It is good to see `You have made another sale' in your inbox.
11. Ensure top level support is given. If they cannot answer your query straight away, make sure they can respond within 48 hours.
There is tremendous demand for affiliate programs and choosing the right one is no easy task. Make sure you do plenty of research before joining one.
