Pages vs. Vellum: Which eBook creation app is best for you?It's a question of what you want and what you can afford.
In the past few months, I've reviewed two good options for turning your text into a publication-worthy ebook. Apple's Pages has recently been updated to add reasonably robust ePUB export abilities. 180g's Vellum offers a slick, full-service suite of tools for creating digital and print books. The difference between them boils down to this: How much power and polish do you need? And what are you willing to pay for it?

Price
The differences between Pages and Vellum look starkest here. Pages comes free with every Mac or from the App Store. While it's free to download and play around with, a working copy of Vellum costs — you may want to sit down for this – $200, if you only want to make digital books, or $250, if you want print formatting, too. For authors working on a budget, that's no small difference.
