What is e-book conversion?
e-Book conversion is a design process that turns your Word document's text and images into an attractive layout for readers to enjoy, focusing solely on digital platforms for your book.
Standard formatting for e-books features a dynamic, re-flowable layout for text and images to make sure your
e-book looks great when viewed on every size and shape e-reader, mobile device and tablet.
Before a Word document can be converted to an e-book file type, it needs to be formatted and coded specifically. If any element is overlooked, the converted e-book is likely to contain errors. An automated process cannot pick up all possible errors – to produce an e-book that looks good and flows properly there has to be some skilled human input.
After formatting, the file is converted into a MOBI or an EPUB file so that it can be read on an e-reading device. This is also not just the click of a button. The text must again be coded using specific software. Images are then added and final checks done to make sure the file works on all devices and platforms.
An added bonus of having control of the e-book file is that you can email it to anyone (reviewers, etc.) and know it will look good.

What is re-flowable text?
Reflowable text means that the text will adjust (reflow) depending upon the reading system being used to view the file. For example, reading on a tablet with a wider screen will allow more words on a line than when reading on a mobile phone. Font size can also be adjusted on e-reader, which changes the amount of words on a line. This means that text needs to be coded correctly to ensure it looks good on all devices.
What are EPUB and MOBI files?
There are two main file types that are compatible with e-readers: MOBI (used by Amazon's Kindle) and EPUB (used by Apple and Sony devices, Kobo, Nook and more).
