Scope that fits the project
Check navigation, image treatment, metadata and readability across representative views.
Digital publishing is more than exporting a Word file to PDF. Readers open ebooks on phones, tablets, dedicated e-readers and reading apps, so files need to behave well across different screens and platform requirements. We help turn a finished manuscript into a prepared digital edition and a sensible distribution workflow.
Choose a digital format based on the content, not only the source file.
Check navigation, image treatment, metadata and readability across representative views.
Separate file production from retailer accounts, distribution terms and marketing.
One ebook will not render identically in every app. Store acceptance and sales cannot be guaranteed.
One ebook will not render identically in every app. Store acceptance and sales cannot be guaranteed.
Digital book publishing prepares a manuscript for electronic reading and makes the finished edition available through selected storefronts or distribution partners.
The first choice is the reading experience. Most novels and many nonfiction titles suit reflowable ebooks, where readers can adjust text size and font. Books that depend on precise page composition—such as highly visual children’s books, cookbooks, comics or workbooks—may need fixed layout or a carefully designed alternative.
An ebook should have semantic headings, a useful table of contents, stable links, appropriate image descriptions where relevant, and clean front and back matter. Tables, equations, footnotes and complex layouts need extra review because behavior differs among reading systems.
The second choice is distribution. Authors may publish directly to one store, manage multiple retailers separately, or use an aggregator. Each approach affects administration, reporting, eligibility and updates. The right choice depends on audience, format, territory and how much account management the author wants.

Structure headings, chapters, navigation, images and links for the intended ebook type.
Choose reflowable or fixed-layout formats based on the book’s design and content.
Map relevant stores and territories rather than assuming every file works everywhere.
Digital stores and aggregators set their own eligibility, content, metadata and file requirements.
Separate content readiness, technical production and store distribution so the author can see what decisions remain.
Complex layouts may warrant a sample conversion before a final quote; it is more reliable than promising every source file will convert cleanly on the first attempt.
