Digital editions
eBook Publishing
Clean, reliable digital editions that behave correctly on every e-reader, tablet and phone your readers actually own.
Digital is where a large share of fiction reading now happens, and it is the cheapest edition to produce and the fastest to update. It is also the one most often shipped broken.
Two kinds of ebook
Reflowable files let the reader control font and size — correct for prose. Fixed-layout files preserve exact page design — correct for children’s books, cookbooks and anything where image and text must stay locked together.
Built properly
Semantic markup, working navigation, validated against retailer requirements, and previewed across device profiles before you approve it.
