Ebook Formatting Services FAQs

Q. What will my eBook look like?

A. The appearance and layout of your eBook depends on what eReader your eBook is viewed on. Devices such as Amazon’s Kindle and iPad allow readers to choose between different font types and sizes they want displayed. All eBook files have to allow for this flexible reading experience. This means your eBook will be formatted to display consistently across a variety of different eReader devices, software and apps. If you are expecting your eBook to match your printed version exactly, you’ll likely need to adjust your expectations.

Q. Will this mean my eBook is thoroughly edited too?

A. No, this is just eBook formatting and coding of your book, using your final edited manuscript. We will not correct grammar, spelling, punctuation or any other editing or proofreading mistakes.

Q. Do you distribute or publish eBooks?

A. No. We are a quality service vendor for publishers and self-published authors, who choose to maintain control and upload their eBook files directly to retailers themselves. This is what we recommend when self-publishing the smart way.

Q. Do I own all rights to my eBook files?

A. Yes certainly. Once you receive your completed formatted eBook files you own them and all rights.

Q. Will my eBook appear in colour?

A. This will depend on the device you’re using. Your eBook will be created using all the colour material you provide, such as your cover image and illustrations. Keep in mind, that not all eReader devices display in colour. Devices such as Kindle’s early Kindle models and new Paperwhite devices display in greyscale. New tablet devices such as iPad, Kobo, Nook Colour and Kindle Fire devices will display in full colour.

Q. What files do you accept?

A. Word (.doc, .docx), Rich Text (.rtf) or InDesign (.indd)

Q. Do I need a separate ISBN for my eBook?

A. Yes we recommend you do. Ebooks are considered a separate product from your print book and audio book, so it requires a separate product identification number.

Q. Do you accept deposits?

A. No. We receive payment for standalone eBook formatting projects in full up front, due to the small project size of eBook formatting.

Q. How many revisions are included?

A. Two rounds of revision are included. This helps keep our eBook formatting prices low. Significant changes or additional content will incur an additional fee.
