Do-It-Yourself (DIY): Type & Publish your Urdu eBook

فروری 2018 میں پاکستان کے نئے لکھنے والے تین طریقوں سے اپنی کتاب اردو الیکٹرانک کتاب بنوا کر شائع کر سکتے ہیں

ایک طریقہ تو یہ ہو سکتا ہے کہ آپ  حال ہی میں قایم ہوئے ادارے پڑھائی لکھائی کو فیس بُک کے ذریعے میسج کریں اور اُن کے ذریعے اپنی کتاب ای۔بُک کے طورپر چھپوائیں۔ البتہ ابھی ابھی پڑھائی لکھائی والوں سے مجھے میسج مِلا ہے کہ وُہ ابھی عام لکھاریوں کی کتابیں ای۔بُک نہیں بنا رہے ۔ ۔ ۔ ہو سکتا ہے کہ آگے چل کر وُہ ایسا کرنے لگیں مگر فی الوقت ایسا نہیں کر رہے ۔ ۔ ۔ ہنوُز دِلّی دوُر است ۔ ۔ ۔  ایک دو سال پہلے ایک نوجوان شاعرہ نے اپنا پہلا مجموعہ  لاہور کے کسی ادارے سے روائتی کتاب کے طور پر چھپوایا تھا تو اُن کے مطابق اِس کام پر دو سو کاپیوں کے لیے پبلشر نے اُن سے ساٹھ ہزار روپے وصول کیے تھے۔ شاید پڑھائی لکھائی والے مستقبل  میں  اِس سے کم قیمت پر آپ کی کتاب ای۔ بُک کے طور پر چھاپ کر اپنے ادارے کے ذریعے مارکیٹ بھی کر دیں۔

https://www.facebook.com/parhlikh/

دوسرا طریقہ یہ ہے کہ مشہور ڈرامہ نویس اور ناول نگار عمیرہ احمد نے یو اے بُکس کے نام سے اپنا اشاعتی ادارہ پاکستان میں کھولا ہے اور وُہ اپنے اِس  اشاعتی  ادارے  کے ذریعے اردو ای بُک چھاپنے کا ارادہ رکھتی ہیں ۔ آپ اُن کے ادارے کے ای۔بک سیکشن کے انچارج حسن عمر سے ای۔ میل یا پھر براہ ِ راست فون کے ذریعے رابطہ کر سکتے ہیں

تیسرا راستہ یہ ہے کہ آپ لاہور کے کسی اشاعتی ادارے سے مثلاً سانجھ پبلی کیشنز  یا پھر ماورا پبلشنگ   یا اسلام آباد کے الحمرا پبلشنگ  یا دوست پبلی کیشنز کے ذریعے پہلے اپنی کتاب کا مسودہ ٹائپ کروا کر پی۔ڈی۔ایف فائل بنوا لیں اور پھر اِسی ادارے کی مدد سے اِسے امریکہ کی کمپنی اَے مَے زون کے کنڈل ای۔بُک ڈویژن سے شائع کروائیں۔ اِس سے آپ کی ای۔بُک بیرون ِ ملک امریکہ، کینیڈا، برطانیہ ، یورپی ممالک اور بھارت میں خریدی جا سکے گی۔ عمیرہ احمدنے اپنے بہت سے اردو ناول اِسی طرح اَے مَےزون سے کنڈل ای۔بُک کے طور پر چھپوا ئے ہیں

A sample Urdu electronic Book (Urdu eBook) I created using the free software Open Office and the Urdu font Nafees Web Naskh.

The image shows the opening lines of an essay    اثاثے  by the modern Urdu poet Ahmed Shamim from the 2016 book میَں، آپ  اور  وُہ        comprised of essays about Ahmed Shamim (edited by Munira Ahmed Shamim, Sanjh Publications, Lahore, Pakistan).

Backgrounder:   What is an Urdu eBook ? 


An Urdu electronic book is not meant to be printed; it is meant to be read on a hand held device with a :

7.5 inch x 4.0 inch (18.75 cm x 10 cm) screen (Kindle Paper White)

 

3.25 inch x 5 inch (8 cm x 13 cm) screen (Kindle Fire HD 6 or HD 8 )

 

This hand-held device is called an electronic Reader or eReader. 

 

Electronic book files or eBook files can be of different formats such as .epub, .mobi, .azw or .pdf.

The .pdf file format gives rise to very large sized files (25-50 megabytes) for Urdu eBooks. Urdu eBooks are only available as .pdf files at the current time. With advances in Urdu software, Urdu eBooks may become available in .epub format in the coming years. The .epub file format gives rise to very small sized eBooks which can be sold easily on the internet (since downloading is easy due to small size of the file).

EPUB format eBooks can be read on desktop computers, laptops and tablets .

 

More and more  Urdu Literature eBooks (prose and poetry)    are available, in many cases free of cost, on the internet... some online sources of Urdu eBooks are listed in the link highlighted above.

 

You may read Urdu eBooks in pdf file format

 

on the Kindle eReader

on  your desktop computer,
on your laptop,
on your tablet,
on your Apple iPad or

on your  Apple iPhone
and many other Smart phone devices

by downloading the Kindle app 

 

The Amazon Kindle Fire HD 6 eReader (8 gigabyte memory) has an 8 inch screen and is the size of a very thin paperback book and is very light. It can hold at least 2,000 eBooks at a time, provides 8 hours of continuous reading and charges in 5 hours. Based on Dareechah's own personal experience, Kindle Fire is the best device for reading an Urdu .pdf eBook or English language eBooks comfortably.

As of December 29th 2015, Kindle Fire HD 6 sells for US$100 or Pak Rs.10,480 however it can only be shipped to a US or Canadian address if purchased through www.amazon.com (USA) or www.amazon.ca (Canadian site).


If you reside in Pakistan, your best option may be to purchase a Kindle eReader with the help of a relative or friend residing abroad. Another option is to purchase the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 3 from the website ShopeReaders.com for the December 29th 2015 price of CAD$180 + CAD$85 Air Parcel shipping cost from Canada to Pakistan for a total of CAD$265 or Pak Rs.27,950.
