ePubEditor

ePubEditor is an online authoring environment for EPUB3 ebooks, with multimedia and interactive exercise tools for educational and textbook projects. Authors can add images, MP3 audio, and MP4 video, embed videos such as YouTube, and create activities including multiple-choice, true/false, gap-fill, drag-and-drop, and association exercises. The editor imports ODT documents and can export to EPUB3, EPUB2, PDF, SCORM, or a web microsite, depending on plan features. SCORM exports can be brought into compatible e-learning platforms such as Moodle, with usage tracking. A free plan provides basic features for one user. Premium Single costs €36 a year; Premium Team costs €99 a year for up to 35 users; Premium Team Extended costs €299 a year for unlimited users within one institution or business. A 30-day trial of the full Team Extended version is available through a team code, after which the account returns to the free plan. Team plans include collaboration features such as page change tracking, restoration, and discussion threads. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web.

ePubEditor offers ebook authoring with interactive content, several export formats, and plans for individuals or groups. Check which export features are included in the plan you choose.

It suits educators and authors creating interactive ebooks, especially for educational and textbook use. Team plans may fit classes or institutions that need shared authoring.

ePubEditor is a browser-based authoring environment for EPUB3 books that combine text with exercises, audio and video. It is best suited to educators, textbook teams and institutions that need interactive lessons or SCORM delivery. Conventional ebook authors who mainly need static layout may find its instructional toolkit and tier-dependent exports more than they need.

Overview

The editor turns a book into an interactive learning resource. Authors can build multiple-choice, true/false, gap-fill, drag-and-drop and association activities, alongside other exercises. Images, MP3 audio, MP4 video and embedded clips such as YouTube videos can sit within the same publication. That combination is substantially more useful for guided study than a standard EPUB containing only prose and pictures.

OpenOffice documents can be brought in through ODT import. Depending on the subscription, a finished project can become EPUB3, EPUB2, PDF, SCORM or a web microsite. SCORM output is the important distinction for schools and training teams: a compatible learning system such as Moodle can import the object and track use. Export breadth is therefore a strength, but the plan you select determines how much of it you can use.

Key features

• Exercise authoring: Several question and interaction types let a lesson include practice and checks for understanding instead of stopping at page design.
• Multimedia books: Support for images, MP3, MP4 and embedded video suits explanations, demonstrations and tablet-oriented course material.
• Multiple delivery formats: EPUB3 and EPUB2 cover ebook readers, while PDF and a web microsite serve readers who need more familiar or browser-based access.
• SCORM integration: Exported SCORM objects can move into compatible e-learning platforms and retain usage tracking, making the tool more relevant to managed instruction.
• Shared authoring: Team plans add page-change tracking, restoration and contextual discussion threads. Those controls make editorial review safer than passing files among contributors.
• Support and services: Email assistance is offered at [email protected], with optional post-production help for Kindle conversion, print PDFs and EPUB editing.

Pricing

The FREE plan costs €0/anno, gratis per sempre, for one user and basic features. It is a sensible way to assess the editor or produce a modest project, but it is not the tier to choose when full authoring and the broader export set are required.

PREMIUM SINGLE costs €36/anno for individual use and the full version. It is the clearest fit for a solo teacher, author or instructional designer who needs more than the basic tier without paying for collaboration seats.

PREMIUM TEAM costs €99/anno for a group or class, with the full version and up to 35 users. Choose it when several contributors need to write and review together; the 35-user ceiling makes it less suitable for a large institution.

PREMIUM TEAM EXTENDED costs €299/anno for institutions and businesses, with unlimited users and the full version. It is the plan for organization-wide authoring, particularly where shared work and institutional scale matter. A free 30-day trial of the full Premium Team Extended version is available through a team code; after the trial, the account returns to the free plan.

Paid-use licenses are prepaid for 365 days and end automatically unless renewed through the site. That term avoids an open-ended commitment, but teams should budget for annual renewal and confirm which exports their chosen tier includes.

Platforms

ePubEditor is offered on Android, iOS and the web. Its online model fits tablet-led classrooms and browser-based collaboration, while the EPUB and PDF outputs provide files that can be distributed beyond the editor.

Who it's for

Educators, textbook publishers, schools and training departments are the strongest audience, especially when lessons need embedded assessment, media or Moodle-compatible SCORM packages. The Team plans suit classes and editorial groups; Team Extended is aimed at institutions and businesses with unlimited internal users. A solo publisher creating a conventional, text-first ebook should look for a simpler formatter instead.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Interactive exercise types support genuine practice; audio, video and YouTube embedding keep media beside the lesson; SCORM export can add tracking in compatible platforms; collaboration history, restoration and discussion threads help teams manage revisions; European Union data storage and reviewed security policies address common institutional concerns.
• Cons: Export capabilities vary by plan, so the cheapest tier may not cover a required delivery format; the free plan is limited to one user and basic features; Team stops at 35 users; the product's educational emphasis is unnecessary for straightforward ebook production; paid access is annual rather than month-to-month.

Alternatives

For a flipbook-oriented workflow with Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows support, consider AnyFlip; its free tier imposes daily-open, upload and watermark limits. Bloom is a better match for basic books and small projects, with enterprise branding and analytics available on custom pricing. Choose Book Creator when a free Starter library can hold up to 40 books and unlimited students matters more than SCORM; it has no free trial.

Kotobee Author is another freemium interactive-ebook option across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Plumati suits creators seeking AI-assisted production with a free allowance of 20,000 AI tokens per month, 200 MB storage, one book and one author seat. FlowPaper is worth considering for hosted publishing, including a free 90-day, branded publisher workstation. Bookalope is an alternative for conversion-focused workflows with per-conversion billing and a free test version. TapBookAuthor targets app-style publishing; its Indie plan is free until publication, then costs USD 89 per month for one user and unlimited apps.

Verdict

Choose ePubEditor if you are building educational EPUBs where embedded exercises, multimedia, collaboration or SCORM tracking are central requirements. Its low-cost individual tier and scalable team plans make that specialized workflow accessible. Look elsewhere if you only need a conventional ebook formatter, want every export on a free plan, or require month-to-month paid billing.
