AI Digest — Turn Your Blog into an eBook (Step‑by‑Step Playbook)

Good morning, David! Great idea—an eBook is a perfect “free gift” to grow AI Digest and help readers catch up fast. I’ve put a complete, step-by-step playbook in the canvas on the right (checklist, templates, and a ready-to-paste Calibre recipe). Here’s the short version so you can act today:

The plan (tailored to your site)

Your site ai123.ca runs on Blogger (you can see “Powered by Blogger” and a “Posts (Atom)” feed link in the footer). That’s good news: Blogger lets you export everything and it exposes RSS/Atom feeds we can convert straight into EPUB/PDF. ai123.ca

Three paths (pick one):

Fastest → PDF: Export your blog (Blogger → Settings → Back up content → Download XML), then upload the XML to BlogBooker to generate a nicely formatted PDF. Great for a quick “Best of AI Digest” booklet. Google Help+1blogbooker.comhelp.edublogs.org
Most flexible → EPUB + PDF (recommended): Use Calibre. Point it at your site’s feeds (all posts or by label), compile to EPUB, then also output PDF. This is repeatable for future editions. I’ve included a working Calibre “recipe” in the canvas. Calibre User Manual+1
Most polished layout: Paste curated posts into Reedsy Book Editor or Canva for designer-quality EPUB/PDF. (More manual, nicer finish.)

Feed & filtering tips (for Calibre):

All posts (RSS): …/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
By label: …/feeds/posts/default/-/Label?alt=rss
For large archives: add ?max-results=500 and page with &start-index=501 as needed. I put examples and notes in the canvas. Google Helpfeed.mikle.comToo Clever By Halfmybloggertricks.com

Recommended quick start (today)

Decide scope: “AI Digest — Highlights 2024–2025 (Bilingual)”.
Curate 30–60 posts via Blogger labels (tools, seniors, news, writing).
Choose Path B (Calibre): Use the recipe I provided, test with 5–10 posts, then build the full EPUB and a matching PDF. Calibre User Manual
Distribution: Create a Blogger Page (“Free eBook”), host files on Google Drive (anyone-with-link), add simple email form for updates, and share the page. (I included landing-page copy, file-naming, and UTM tips in the canvas.)

Bilingual layout guidance

PDF: side-by-side columns work well.
EPUB: use sequential Chinese/English sections per chapter (columns don’t reflow on phones).
I included typography, CSS, and consistency tips in the playbook.

Rights & housekeeping

If any posts include press photos or logos, swap them for images you own or CC-licensed ones and add attributions. Validate the EPUB in readers and keep a version label (e.g., v1.0, Aug 2025). Details and checklists are in the canvas.

If you want, I can also tailor the Calibre recipe to specific labels (e.g., “AI writing”, “ChatGPT”) so you can generate themed mini-books in one click next time.

thanks alot for the great details. i would study them first before i proceed. most appreciate your help and insights.

You’re very welcome, David! 🌟 Take your time—once you decide the scope and format path (quick PDF, flexible EPUB+PDF, or polished manual layout), the rest becomes much smoother.

When you’re ready, I can:

Help curate and structure your 30–60 strongest posts.
Fine-tune the Calibre recipe to match your chosen labels.
Draft the preface / landing page text so your eBook feels complete and welcoming.

Would you like me to also sketch a sample table of contents from your blog’s main categories (e.g., AI Tools, AI for Seniors, News & Trends, Writing with AI)? That could give you a head start in planning the first edition.

yes, that would be very helpful.

Perfect 👍 Let’s sketch a sample Table of Contents (ToC) for your first AI Digest eBook, based on the kinds of posts you’ve written. Since you have 300+ entries, we’ll aim for a curated 30–60 post selection, organized into 5–6 big sections. This gives readers a clear flow and makes updates easy.

👉 This ToC can be expanded or trimmed depending on how many posts you include. For example, if you want a lighter 80-page “starter edition”, you could limit each Part to 3–4 posts only.

Would you like me to map specific posts from your blog into this structure (using your main labels like AI Writing, AI Tools for Seniors, News & Trends) so you see exactly how your content could slot into the book?

very good. just go ahead. that is what i want.

Great! Let’s start mapping your AI Digest blog content into the eBook Table of Contents structure. Since your site has over 300 posts, we’ll pull from your main categories / labels (like AI Writing, AI Tools for Seniors, News & Trends, Global AI, Learning Series, etc.) and match them to the sections we sketched.

📌 With this mapping:

Each “Part” contains 4–6 posts (about 5–10 pages each).
The book will land at 120–150 pages depending on formatting and images.
You can update future editions (e.g., Highlights 2026) by swapping in newer posts.

Would you like me to pick one Part (say Part II: AI in Everyday Life) and draft the bilingual layout (Chinese left / English right) so you see exactly how it would look inside the eBook?

wow, you read my mind. like it.

I’m glad you like it, David! 🎉 Since you’d like to see how the inside pages of your eBook might look, let’s take Part II — AI in Everyday Life and format it in the bilingual style (Chinese left / English right) you prefer.

Here’s a sample chapter layout 👇

📖 AI Digest — Sample Chapter (Bilingual Layout)

中文 (左側)	English (Right Side)
第二部分：人工智慧在日常生活中的應用	Part II: AI in Everyday Life
6. 乒乓球與銀髮族健康打乒乓球是一種既能活動筋骨，又能增進心智健康的運動。醫學研究指出，這項運動能幫助改善反應能力、協調性，甚至延緩認知退化。近年來，部分醫療機構也開始嘗試將乒乓球納入老年人康復與失智症輔助治療之中。AI 工具更能追蹤運動數據，提供個人化的健康建議。	6. Ping Pong and Senior Well-being Playing ping pong is not only fun but also an excellent way for seniors to stay physically active and mentally sharp. Medical experts note that the game enhances reflexes, coordination, and may even help slow cognitive decline. In fact, some healthcare centers are now adopting ping pong as part of rehabilitation and dementia care. With AI tools, players can also track performance and receive personalized health tips.
7. 銀髮族如何利用 AI 工具提升日常生活 AI 已經不再只是年輕人的專利。銀髮族能透過簡單的語音指令或手機應用，完成翻譯、查詢、寫作輔助，甚至管理健康紀錄。這些應用降低了科技的門檻，讓更多人享受 AI 帶來的便利。	7. How Seniors Can Use AI Tools Daily AI is no longer just for the tech-savvy younger generation. Seniors can benefit from AI through simple voice commands or mobile apps—for translation, quick answers, writing assistance, and even health tracking. These tools lower the barrier to technology and make AI accessible to everyone.
8. AI 與旅遊：智慧助理規劃行程計劃旅程往往需要花費大量時間，而 AI 助理能迅速整合航班、住宿與景點資訊，根據個人偏好生成最佳方案。以我的經驗為例，無論是歐洲長途旅遊，或是搭乘郵輪，AI 都能成為可靠的旅遊顧問。	8. AI & Travel: Smart Trip Planning Planning a trip can be time-consuming, but AI assistants quickly pull together flights, hotels, and attractions to create customized itineraries. From my own travels—whether exploring Europe or embarking on a cruise—AI has proven to be a reliable travel consultant.
9. 智能翻譯與跨語言交流許多讀者可能已經嘗試過 Google 翻譯或 ChatGPT 的即時翻譯功能。這些工具大幅改善了跨語言交流，使國際溝通不再是障礙。透過 AI，我甚至能將自己的部落格文章快速轉換成雙語版本，讓更多人受益。	9. Smart Translation & Communication Many readers have likely tried Google Translate or ChatGPT’s instant translation features. These tools greatly improve cross-language communication, removing barriers for global interaction. With AI, I can even transform my blog posts into bilingual versions in minutes, reaching a wider audience.
10. AI 健康與記憶輔助從追蹤血壓、步數，到提醒服藥，AI 在健康管理上的角色愈來愈重要。對於記憶力逐漸減退的長者，AI 提醒與語音助理能發揮巨大幫助。這讓我們的生活更有保障，也更有信心。	10. AI for Health & Memory Support From monitoring blood pressure and daily steps to reminding us about medications, AI is becoming an essential health companion. For seniors facing memory decline, reminders and voice assistants can provide real support. This makes life safer and more reassuring.

📌 This layout gives your readers a side-by-side bilingual experience, exactly as you imagined: Chinese on the left, English on the right.

👉 Would you like me to also prepare a sample Preface (bilingual, in the same layout)? That would set the tone for your eBook and show readers why you created it.

yes

Perfect 🙌 Then we can treat this as the first draft framework for your AI Digest eBook.

Here’s what I suggest as next steps (simple and flexible):

Pick 5–10 posts per section (AI Tools, Seniors & AI, News & Trends, Writing with AI, Case Studies & Insights).
- These will become the core content.
- You don’t need to include all 300 posts—start with a strong selection.
Draft a short Preface (1–2 pages)
- Who you are, why you write AI Digest, and what readers can expect.
- Warm and personal—like your blog voice.
Add closing “Next Steps” or “Stay Connected” page
- Link to your blog (ai123.ca)
- Invite readers to subscribe for updates.
- Mention this is a free resource you’re giving to share AI knowledge.

After that, we can export everything into an eBook (EPUB + PDF) and even design a simple cover.

👉 Would you like me to start drafting the Preface in your style, so you can see how it feels?

yes

Great! Here’s a first draft Preface written in your candid, welcoming style. You can adjust tone or details as you like:

Preface

Over the past few years, I have written more than three hundred posts on my blog, AI Digest (www.ai123.ca). What began as a personal curiosity about artificial intelligence has grown into a journey of learning, sharing, and connecting with friends and readers around the world.

AI is moving fast—sometimes faster than we can catch our breath. From breakthroughs in tools like ChatGPT to the way seniors can use AI for writing, learning, or even daily living, I wanted to capture these moments in plain, approachable language. My goal has always been simple: to make AI less intimidating, more practical, and maybe even a little fun.

This eBook is a small collection of those writings—organized into themes such as AI Tools, AI for Seniors, News & Trends, Writing with AI, and Case Studies & Insights. It is not a textbook, nor a technical manual. Instead, it’s a friendly guide for anyone curious about how AI is shaping our lives today.

I am offering this eBook for free because knowledge grows best when it’s shared. If you enjoy these pages, I invite you to visit my blog for fresh updates, reflections, and stories.

Thank you for reading, and I hope this collection inspires you to see AI not just as technology, but as a companion in learning and creativity.

— David Au
Toronto, Canada

Would you like me to also draft the “Closing / Stay Connected” page (with blog links and invitation to readers), so you’ll already have both ends of your eBook in place?

yes

Perfect 👍 Here’s a Closing / Stay Connected page draft that matches the warm, candid tone of your Preface:

Stay Connected

Thank you for taking the time to read this eBook. I hope you found some useful ideas, fresh perspectives, and maybe even a little inspiration about how AI is changing our world.

This collection is just a starting point. AI keeps evolving every day, and I continue to write about the latest updates, reflections, and candid insights on my blog:

🌐 AI Digest — www.ai123.ca

I would love to hear your thoughts, questions, or even your own experiences with AI. Feel free to leave comments on the blog or share this eBook with friends who may also be curious about AI.

Let’s keep learning together—step by step, discovery by discovery. The journey with AI is just beginning, and it’s more exciting when shared.

— David Au
Toronto, Canada

✨ This gives your eBook a nice bookend: a friendly welcome (Preface) at the start and a warm invitation (Stay Connected) at the end.

Do you want me to also suggest a short introduction page (just 1–2 paragraphs before Preface) that briefly explains what the eBook is and how it’s organized? That would complete the “front matter” nicely.

yes

Great 🙌 Here’s a Short Introduction page you can place before the Preface:

Introduction

This eBook is a curated collection of selected posts from my blog, AI Digest (www.ai123.ca), where I’ve been sharing thoughts, updates, and candid reflections on artificial intelligence.

With over 300 posts published, I wanted to make it easier for readers—both newcomers and longtime followers—to explore these ideas in one place. The content is grouped into sections for smoother reading, covering practical tools, AI in daily life, global trends, and personal reflections.

The goal is simple: to offer clear, accessible insights into the fast-changing world of AI. Whether you’re just beginning to explore artificial intelligence or already following its developments closely, I hope this eBook will spark your curiosity and deepen your understanding.

✨ Now your front matter is complete:

Title page / Cover
Introduction
Preface

Would you like me to also sketch a sample table of contents (with logical sections based on your blog themes) so you can see how the eBook might be organized?

yes

Perfect 👍 Here’s a sample Table of Contents (TOC) draft for your eBook, based on the recurring themes in your blog AI Digest:

Would you like me to map a few of your existing blog posts into this TOC so you can see how the fit looks in practice?

thanks alot.

You’re very welcome, David! 🌟

Now you have a complete front matter (Introduction + Preface), a closing page (Stay Connected), and a flexible Table of Contents. Together, these form the backbone of your eBook.

Next steps could be:

Select 30–60 posts to fill the chapters.
Format a sample chapter in bilingual style (Chinese left / English right).
Compile everything in Calibre or your chosen tool for EPUB/PDF.

If you like, I can help you curate the actual posts from your blog into these chapters so your first edition is ready to generate. That would save a lot of time and make the eBook launch-ready.

yes, go ahead.

Perfect 👍 Let’s move ahead and start curating your first edition eBook content from your AI Digest blog. Since you have over 300 posts, we’ll aim for a focused, well-balanced selection (30–50 posts) across your main themes, so the book feels complete but not overwhelming.

Would you like me to start drafting one sample chapter (say, from Part I — “Getting Started with ChatGPT”) in the bilingual, side-by-side style so you can see exactly how it will look in the eBook?

ok.

Great 👍 Let’s start with a sample chapter draft in the bilingual, side-by-side format. I’ll use Part I — “Getting Started with ChatGPT” as the example.

📖 Sample Chapter (Draft for eBook)

中文 (Chinese)	English
### 入門指南：如何開始使用 ChatGPT	### Getting Started with ChatGPT
很多人第一次聽到「ChatGPT」這個名字時，會以為它是專業人士才能用的高科技工具。但事實上，它非常容易上手，而且能在日常生活中發揮許多實際用途。	When people first hear the name “ChatGPT,” they often think it’s a high-tech tool only for experts. In reality, it’s very easy to use and can serve many practical purposes in everyday life.
第一步：像朋友一樣對話不需要使用艱深的專業術語，直接用自然語言輸入即可。例如：「幫我寫一封感謝信」或「解釋一下區塊鏈是什麼」。	Step 1: Talk Like a Friend You don’t need complicated technical terms—just type naturally, as if you were talking to a friend. For example: “Write me a thank-you note” or “Explain what blockchain is.”
第二步：循序漸進如果第一次得到的答案不理想，可以接著說「請簡短一點」或「用更適合長輩的語氣」。ChatGPT 會根據你的指示調整答案。	Step 2: Refine Step by Step If the first answer isn’t what you wanted, you can say “make it shorter” or “use a tone suitable for seniors.” ChatGPT will adapt to your instructions.
第三步：應用在生活中無論是寫電子郵件、翻譯外語、整理旅遊行程，甚至是學習新知識，ChatGPT 都能當作一位隨身的助手。	Step 3: Apply in Daily Life Whether it’s writing emails, translating languages, planning trips, or learning something new, ChatGPT can act as a personal assistant.
小提醒：最好的方式就是多嘗試、多提問。隨著時間，你會發現自己愈來愈熟練，也能從 AI 那裡得到更貼心的幫助。	Tip: The best way is to experiment and ask questions often. Over time, you’ll become more skilled and get more personalized help from AI.

This way, the reader sees Chinese on the left and English on the right, making it easy for bilingual learning and international readers.

👉 Do you want me to keep each chapter short and simple like this (1–2 pages), or would you prefer longer expanded posts (3–4 pages each) for the eBook?

keep it short and concise will be perfect.

Got it 👍 Keeping things short, concise, and reader-friendly, here’s a tightened draft of your eBook Table of Contents + Chapter skeleton (using 4–6 posts per section):

📖 AI Digest – Your Guide to AI Insights & Updates

Introduction
Preface

Part I – AI Basics Made Simple

👉 Next, I can map your actual blog posts into this outline (using the titles/categories you already have). Do you want me to start drafting that mapping list for you?

Perfect 👍 Here’s a mapping draft of your existing blog posts into the eBook outline we set up. I grouped them where they fit best:

Stay Connected

(end note with your blog/social links)

👉 This way, you’re recycling existing posts (minimal new writing) while giving them a fresh structure.

Would you like me to now draft the actual “Introduction + Preface” in a short, concise style to set the tone of the eBook?

yes

Perfect 👍

Here’s our streamlined plan for your AI Digest eBook (First Edition):

Front Matter – Title page, Introduction, Preface.
Main Content – ~30 selected posts grouped under 5 chapters:
- AI Basics & Trends
- AI Tools & Applications
- AI for Seniors

- Global AI Perspectives
Closing – Stay Connected page with your blog + contact.
Format – Short, bilingual (Chinese left / English right), easy-to-read style.

Each post will be condensed and polished (concise yet clear) so the eBook feels like a guidebook, not just a blog dump.

👉 Next step: I’ll start drafting sample content for Chapter 1 (AI Basics & Trends) with 2 short posts included, in your preferred bilingual layout.

Would you like me to prepare that sample now so you can see how it looks?

yes

Great 👍 Here’s a sample draft for Chapter 1 (AI Basics & Trends) in the bilingual left–right layout you like:

Chapter 1: AI Basics & Trends

第一章：人工智能基礎與趨勢

中文	English
人工智能的快速崛起	The Rapid Rise of AI
在短短幾年內，人工智能（AI）已從實驗室走進日常生活。從手機語音助手、翻譯工具到圖像生成器，AI 正在以驚人的速度滲透各行各業。對許多初學者來說，理解 AI 的核心概念是第一步。	In just a few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has moved from research labs into everyday life. From voice assistants and translation tools to image generators, AI is rapidly transforming industries. For beginners, understanding the core concepts of AI is the first step.
趨勢觀察：生成式 AI	Trend Watch: Generative AI
生成式 AI 是近年最熱門的技術之一。它能創建文字、圖片、聲音甚至影片，應用範圍極廣。這股潮流帶來機遇，也引發倫理與監管的討論。	Generative AI has become one of the hottest technologies in recent years. It can create text, images, audio, and even video, with applications across many fields. This trend brings opportunities but also raises ethical and regulatory concerns.
結語	Closing Note
認識 AI 的基礎與趨勢，能幫助我們不僅是使用者，更是思考者。帶著這樣的觀點，您將更容易理解後續章節的應用與故事。	Understanding AI basics and trends helps us become not just users but thoughtful observers. With this perspective, you’ll better appreciate the applications and stories in later chapters.

Would you like me to continue drafting Chapter 1 with 2–3 more short posts (to make it a full sample chapter), or do you prefer to move on to another chapter so you can see variety first?

yes

Perfect 👍 Let’s continue and expand Chapter 1 (AI Basics & Trends) with 2 more short bilingual posts, keeping it concise and easy to read.

Chapter 1: AI Basics & Trends

第一章：人工智能基礎與趨勢

中文	English
AI 的核心概念：學習與模仿	Core Concept: Learning & Imitation
AI 的本質是「從數據中學習」。它透過分析大量資料，找出規律，再用這些規律來預測或生成內容。換句話說，AI 就像一個會不斷學習與模仿的學生。	At its core, AI is about “learning from data.” It analyzes large amounts of information, identifies patterns, and then uses those patterns to predict or generate content. In other words, AI is like a student who constantly learns and imitates.
AI 的日常應用	Everyday Applications of AI
我們每天都在用 AI：手機自動翻譯、電商推薦商品、GPS 導航路線、甚至醫療診斷。這些應用讓生活更便利，但也提醒我們 AI 已無所不在。	We use AI every day: instant translation on smartphones, product recommendations in online shopping, GPS route navigation, and even medical diagnosis. These applications make life easier but also remind us that AI is everywhere.

✨ 這樣，Chapter 1 就有三個小篇章（AI 崛起、生成式 AI、核心概念與應用）。讀者既能快速入門，也能帶走一些啟發。

要不要我把這些 合併成完整的一章 (Chapter 1 finished draft)，排好中英對照版式？

Great 👍 Here’s the finished draft of Chapter 1 (AI Basics & Trends) in your preferred bilingual side-by-side format — concise, easy to read, and ready for your blog.

Chapter 1: AI Basics & Trends

人工智能不是新鮮事，但過去十年因為運算能力提升、數據量爆炸，以及演算法進步，AI 才真正走入我們的生活。	AI is not new, but in the past decade, faster computing, massive data growth, and smarter algorithms have pushed AI into our daily lives.
生成式 AI：從工具到創作伙伴	Generative AI: From Tool to Creative Partner
以前的 AI 偏重於「分析」與「預測」，現在的生成式 AI（如 ChatGPT、MidJourney）則能「創造」內容，幫我們寫作、畫圖，甚至作曲。	Traditional AI focused on “analyzing” and “predicting,” but today’s generative AI (like ChatGPT, MidJourney) can “create” — writing, drawing, and even composing music.
AI 的核心概念：學習與模仿	Core Concept: Learning & Imitation
AI 的本質是「從數據中學習」。它透過分析大量資料，找出規律，再用這些規律來預測或生成內容。AI 就像一個會不斷學習與模仿的學生。	At its core, AI is about “learning from data.” It analyzes vast information, finds patterns, and uses them to predict or generate results. AI is like a student who keeps learning and imitating.
AI 的日常應用	Everyday Applications of AI
AI 已經滲透在生活：手機翻譯、購物推薦、GPS 導航、醫療診斷。這些便利提醒我們——AI 已無所不在。	AI is already everywhere: phone translation, shopping recommendations, GPS navigation, medical diagnosis. These conveniences remind us that AI is truly omnipresent.

✨ Chapter 1 now flows like a short and clear mini-guide:

為什麼 AI 現在重要 (Why AI matters now)
生成式 AI 的不同 (What makes Generative AI unique)
