 Upgraded to Version 4.01!
Includes Rebrander Software!
 Still only $29.95 US!
This product is my recommendation for absolutely the best value. It is a full-featured HTML compiler. This product allows for icon, splash screen and installation message customization.
The brand new version has integrated a Rebrander software program which gives you the capability to allow your affiliates or visitors to embed their affiliate ID into your ebook. This is probably the most powerful viral marketing tool ever.
It assigns each book a unique ESBN number and allows for full security by utilizing password protection to the entire book or single pages. You are also able to assign up to 1000 different passwords to each uniquely identified ESBN numbered book. It will automatically generate as many hard-to-guess passwords as you like, containing upper case, lower case letters or digits (or any combination that you like), simply and totally automatically in seconds.
It supports Java, cgi and javascript and uses a unique "Activ Script Technology" which allows you to run external programs, read and write files and generate ebook pages dynamically.
It also is very easy to use and the interface is very straight forward.
New add-on for Activ eBook Compiler available, a software called
eBook Power. It allows you to easily incorporate your own multimedia elements,
including sampled sounds, MIDI files, video, CD Audio and more as part of your
eBook presentations. (But they don't supply the sounds, videos, MIDI files, etc., you need to record them yourself or buy a CD-ROM with files that you can use).
Newest version adds many additional features making this one of the most customizable and flexible compilers on the market.
And Last But Definitely NOT Least! - Future Upgrades to the Product are Free! Buy this once and you never have to look at paying to upgrade as technology changes and improves!
More details on the features of Activ E-Book Compiler can be found at their site.

This compiler has the same features as "E-ditor Pro". However, where "E-ditor Pro" provides both online and built in help, MediaPacker does not.
Talking to the creator of this program, the help files are in the process of being done.
If you intend to create HTML ebooks that you would like to use with rebranding for your affiliates, Mediapack v2.0 would not be the compiler to choose. It does not presently offer rebranding software; however the plan is to make this option available on the release of the next version.
