Edit EPUB Formatted eBooks with Sigil EPUB ebook Editor for PC

You may sometimes find errors in your ePub formatted eBooks and feel the need to correct them. However, you do not have the right software to do the job for you. What do you do then? Of course, browse the Internet thoroughly until you find a valid option. No need to do that anymore! We have simplified the process by bringing in Sigil.

Sigil EPUB ebook Editor for Windows PC

Sigil is a free and open-source editor for EPUB-format eBooks. Although many other rich text editors exist, from good old Notepad to Open Office Writer, Sigil’s main advantage over these editors is its focus on eBooks. It also includes many advanced features, such as support for XHTML, CSS, and XPGT editing.

How to install Sigil for Windows PC

Installing Sigil is fairly easy on Windows.
If you’ve installed Sigil previously, uninstall earlier versions to avoid issues with old DLLs or libraries.
Then, download the 32-bit or 64-bit version that matches your version of Windows.
Run the installer, and everything should take care of itself

If you are using 32bit Windows and get a message about Sigil not being “a valid Win32 application”, chances are you have downloaded the 64bit version by mistake

When installed successfully, the interface of the program displays the following,

Toolbar at the top
A book browser on the left
A tabbed editing interface in the middle
A table of contents on the right, when enabled

Sigil is very simple to use. When launched, the program opens with a default blank ePub file, so you can start writing an eBook right away. Here, you can access formatting options, define headings, insert images, and do a lot more.

Also, if you want to edit any of your ePub books, click ‘Open’ and browse to the file you want to edit. Since Sigil is full of features, at some point, you can learn many of its keyboard shortcuts for most operations and dictionary files for spell-checking.
