I have written an ebook in Powerpoint 2007. How do I get the ebook to a website and sell it?

I already have one website with paypal on it. Would it be possible to either link another webpage to that paypal or do I need a seperate paypal account. I’m not sure that I can download the ebook to my current site as it is for photography, just thinking of all my options.
Poets and poetry lovers love words used well, so when I saw these, I thought you’d laugh with me. Funny stuff?

WHEN INSULTS HAD CLASS
When Insults Had Class (no 4-letter words !!) These glorious insults are from an era when cleverness with words was still valued, before a great portion of the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words, not to mention waving middle fingers.

Lord of the Universe or Lord of Israel?
Posted by admin | Filed under Religion & Spirituality
Last week I got King James Version (text) of bible from internet, I am not a religious person, and I read a few chapters of this e-bible
Today I get a text version of Quran, I read only two lines of this e-quran also, and the second line was like this.
“Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds;”
As both these e-books are in text format, I used MS word to search words like “LORD” and “GOD”
And conclusion was this. When Quran speaks about God, it says “The Lord of the worlds”
And when bible (King James Version) Speaks about God it says “The Lord of Israel”
Can anyone explain why the creator of the universe calls himself “The God of Israel”?
Or just give some verses from other version of bible where they described God as the God of the universe.
Your help will be appreciated as I don’t have much free time to check all versions of bible, one by one.
