# Generating eBooks and PDFs
GitBook can generates a website, but can also output content as ebook (ePub, Mobi, PDF).
### Installing ebook-convert
`ebook-convert` is required to generate ebooks (epub, mobi, pdf).
##### OS X
Download the [Calibre application](https://calibre-ebook.com/download). After moving the `calibre.app` to your Applications folder create a symbolic link to the ebook-convert tool:
```
$ sudo ln -s ~/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert /usr/bin
```
You can replace `/usr/bin` with any directory that is in your $PATH.
### Cover
Covers are used for all the ebook formats. It's an important part of an ebook brandline.
A good cover should respect the following guidelines:
* Size of 1800x2360 (pixels)
* No border
* Clearly visible book title
* Any important text should be visible in the small version
