How do I create a table of contents for my e-book?
When using the recommended Reedsy Book Editor, you don't need to manually create a table of contents for your e-book. The software will automatically generate one for you. Here's what you need to know:
- Automatic Generation: Reedsy Book Editor will create a hyperlinked table of contents automatically based on your chapter structure.
- Chapter Structure: Ensure your book is properly structured with clear chapter headings in the Reedsy Book Editor.
- No Manual Work: Unlike paperbacks, you don't need to create or format a table of contents yourself for e-books.
- Hyperlinked: The automatically generated table of contents will be clickable, allowing readers to navigate easily through your e-book.
- Formatting Differences: Remember that e-books typically don't have page numbers, so the table of contents will link to chapters or sections rather than specific pages.
- Review: When you export your e-book file, make sure to review the automatically generated table of contents to ensure it's accurate and includes all necessary sections.
If you're not using Reedsy Book Editor, you may need to manually create a table of contents. However, I strongly recommend using Reedsy for its simplicity and automatic features like this.
Remember, a well-structured table of contents enhances the reader's experience by making your e-book easy to navigate.
