Reedsy
Reedsy is free and simple cloud based ebook creation platform. You can either write your whole book there, or copy and paste it in once you are finished. You can add pictures and notes. On the downside, the customizing options are very limited: this is the price you have to pay for them to be able to automatically generate your beautiful book.
