We can convert your book into the most popular eBook formats, ready for your title to be sold via the major eBook retailers or through your own website. We can work from digital files or printed books, and will test that your eBook looks wonderful and works flawlessly in most popular eBook readers like Apple iPad and Kindle Fire tablet. We can produce Fixed-Layout eBook versions of illustrated, photographic, picture and complex layout books. Your book can be converted into a fixed layout eBook format for many retailers like Apple, Amazon. And Fixed-Layout ePUBs are a fantastic format for graphic heavy eBooks (especially children’s book) and give the reader a great, interactive reading experience. We can produce stunning eBook versions of illustrated and picture books featuring a ‘read aloud’ option. This gives readers the ability to listen to a narration of the book along with the words being highlighted as they are read out. A looping musical or sound-effect soundtrack can also be included to play while the book is being read. If you only have a printed copy of your book (i.e. no Word Doc or digital version) we can still produce a fully functional eBook version of your title. The first step is to digitize your book: to transform it from print to a Word file. We work with many authors who wish to take control of titles, where rights have reverted. We can convert your out-of-print titles from book to Word to eBook format and help you publish via all the major retailers. And also we are happy to produce a sample for free of cost, if you are interested please send us a sample for your review.
