The iPad, Kindle, Nook and Other E-book Readers  
             
  The iPad, Kindle, Nook and other e-book readers are becoming popular among readers and publishers because of the number of books they hold and the ease with which people can purchase them. You might be interested in making your book available as both a traditionally printed book and an e-book. We can help.  
       
E-book formatting requires its own processes. It can be done whether your manuscript has already been printed or you are just beginning the interior design. You can even publish your e-book if you don't plan to print.
 
How We Prepare Your E-book

After you send us your manuscript, we will format it and send it to you for review. When you have approved it, we will deliver the finished file so that readers can purchase your e-book on the Internet.
 
  • We start with any common file format, such as a Microsoft Word document, PDF, RTF or other format. (Please inquire.)
  • We prepare your book cover for your e-book.
  • We create the table of contents.
  • We link each chapter in the table of contents directly to the start of that chapter in the book.
  • If you wish, we will create cross references using the keywords of your choice, so that readers can easily find other spots in the book on those subjects. (This is particularly good for nonfiction.)
  • Formatting may include drop caps, section headings, bulleted lists, italics, bold, simple graphics and so on.
  • We prepare photos, illustrations and tables (within the limits of the e-book reader).
  • Finally, we upload and test your publication to ensure that your reader's experience is a pleasure.
 
       
Which Books Are Best Suited for E-book Formatting?

Most books can be formatted for e-book readers, but a simple design is prepared more quickly than a complex layout.
