Reflowable ebook displayed across Kindle, iPad, phone and tablet

Reflowable ebook conversion service

Reflowable eBooks are the right format for almost all digital books. The layout will always look different to the print book because the HTML is designed to adapt intelligently to the screen size as well as the reader's choices for font, spacing and even screen color. Best results depend on correct setup, so we structure the file cleanly, handle images properly and manage references carefully to ensure the book reads well on every major device including Kindle, iPad, Kobo and Nook. So if you already have a print edition, let us rebuild the content for you to work naturally and deliver your digital files ready to upload.

Costs and timing

Most fiction and nonfiction books are straightforward to convert. They fall under our standard pricing of £0.85 per printed page, with a minimum fee of £175. Books that include lots of links, references or images that need extra adjustment will be quoted higher. Once we have seen your print-ready book we can easily confirm the exact cost. Most ebooks are completed within ten days, and if you need the files sooner we offer an express service for an additional fee.

We're ready when you are

An ebook opens your book to a much wider audience, from avid Kindle readers to anyone who prefers the convenience of reading on a phone or tablet. Send us what you have and we will guide you through the steps to create a reliable digital edition ready for retailers.

Frequently asked questions

Will my ebook look the same as my print book?

No, and it is not meant to. A reflowable ebook adapts to the reader's device and their chosen settings, so the layout will always differ from the printed version. Fonts are handled differently because most devices let readers choose their own typeface, images may shift slightly so they scale cleanly on small screens, and only the front cover is included. The back cover and spine are replaced by the retailer's metadata rather than appearing inside the ebook file. We keep the overall style consistent, but the digital edition is rebuilt to work naturally on every major screen.

What happens to tables, footnotes and other special elements?

Tables are usually placed as images so they display consistently on every device. Footnotes and references are rebuilt as fully clickable links, with bidirectional navigation so readers can move smoothly between the reference in the text and the note itself. This is one reason accurate tagging matters, as incorrect links can behave unpredictably on different screen sizes. Lists, headings and callouts are also adapted so they read cleanly and reflow properly when the reader adjusts font size or orientation.

Can I request changes?

Absolutely, feedback is part of the process. Your ebook is created from your print edition, so some styling is adapted to work properly in reflowable format. If you would like adjustments, just tell us and we will explain what is possible. For text edits, please mark them on your print-ready PDF. Because the ebook reflows on every device, we cannot reliably locate a change from a screenshot alone, and the PDF gives us the fixed reference we need. When reviewing your ebook, please follow the steps in our reviewing your ebook guide so you can see it as your readers will. If you spot anything that looks incorrect, include an image of the issue and we will investigate.

How do I sell my ebook?

Once your ebook is complete, you can upload it yourself to any retailer. Add the epub file and the front-cover image to your account and complete the book's metadata, including the title, author name, keywords and description. It is important that these match your print edition so the retailer can link both formats in a single listing. Retailers periodically update their checking standards, so if an error appears during upload, send us a screenshot and we will help resolve it. If you would prefer us to take care of everything, we also offer an ebook publishing service to manage the full setup on your behalf.
