Most .exe converters or services cost a bit, and honestly, you probably won’t need those features. First of all, most ebook readers just want to read your book and are not terribly impressed with extraneous details that would not be presented in a paper book, with the exception of hyperlinks. Secondly, .exe files are only viewable on PC’s, so right off the bat, you lose potential Mac customers.

You can, of course, put your ebook on the web as a MS Word file. This makes for a cumbersome download and then your customer will need to have a similar program to read your book. Some word processing files can be compressed for quicker downloads. But that still doesn’t solve the problem of your readers needing MS Word or similar purchased software to read your book.

You can put your ebook on the web in .html format so that it can be read just like a web page. Some word processing programs have html converters that you can try. To me, this is going to extra trouble that you just don’t need. Take the simpler road – .pdf.
