An eBook has to work at whatever font size the reader chooses, not just the one you picture.
Reflowable or fixed layout
Most eBooks are reflowable: text flows to fit the screen, and readers choose font, size and spacing. This suits novels, memoir and most narrative nonfiction. Fixed-layout EPUB keeps every element in place like a printed page, which picture books, cookbooks and heavily illustrated titles need, but it reads poorly on small phones.
We recommend the right approach for your book, then hand-build the file rather than relying on a one-click export. That means clean code, images sized for screens, a navigation document that eReaders recognize, and alt text for meaningful images so readers using assistive technology are not left out.
What you gain with ebook formatting
We build EPUB files by hand from your final manuscript, with a working table of contents, sensible styling and accessibility basics, then test them on phones, tablets and dedicated eReaders.
Navigation that works
Readers can jump to any chapter from the device menu as well as from a linked contents page, because both the navigation file and the in-book contents are built properly.
Respect for reader settings
We avoid hard-coded fonts, sizes and colors that override reader preferences, so night mode, larger text and alternative reading fonts behave the way readers expect.
Accessibility basics
Images carry meaningful alt text, headings use proper structure and the reading order is logical, which helps screen reader users and supports accurate accessibility metadata.
Tested before delivery
We run EPUB validation and open the file on a range of devices and reading apps, catching broken links, oversized images or stray formatting before readers find them.
From first read to final file
You are kept informed at every stage, and nothing moves forward without your approval.

If your book is mainly text, reflowable is almost always better, because it adapts to every screen and reader setting. Fixed layout is for books where the position of text and images matters, such as picture books or recipe spreads. We advise based on your content.
Automatic exports often carry hidden formatting, fixed font sizes, missing navigation and messy code that displays unpredictably across devices. A store may still accept such a file, but readers notice the result. A hand-built EPUB is cleaner, smaller and far more consistent.
At a basic level it means a logical heading structure, a reading order that makes sense when read aloud, alt text describing meaningful images, and no reliance on color alone to convey information. These steps help readers who use screen readers or adjust display settings.
Yes. Footnotes become linked notes the reader can tap and return from, tables are simplified or rebuilt so they stay readable on narrow screens, and images are resized and compressed so the file stays a manageable size for download.
We build a standard EPUB, the format most digital retailers work with, and prepare it for upload to platforms such as Amazon KDP, Kobo or Apple Books. Each store displays files slightly differently, so we test on common devices and reading apps before delivery.
