If you intend to write the content and have the book converted into different ebook file format, then you just need to work on your normal word processor. There are companies
that specialise in converting such files for a fee. This is advantageous because you will be able to reach the largest audience but the fee can
be expensive.
If you want to write for readers using the Windows PC and Internet Explorer, you may need some sort of ebook compiler software. You can then write your ebook either using the Microsoft Words or with other HTML authoring software. Then you run your files through the compiler software which compiles the files into a stand alone application which can be downloaded, opened and read without any other plugins or extra software. The software is relatively easy to learn and reasonably priced. The disadvantage is that the small percentage of Mac users will not be able to read your ebook.
Determine what kind of software you need. Search for them on the web under 'ebook software' or 'ebook tools'. There are many to choose from. Determine if the software is compatible with your system requirements. If it does, buy it and then download and install it on your computer.

If you are doing it yourself and have finished your entire work, test it out throughly first. Check that it is free from virus before distributing it.
Remember that you need to give your ebook a nice cover.
