eBook Formatting

Keep your readers engaged with professional eBook formatting starting at $299.

What does eBook formatting involve?

eBook formatting is a standard design process that converts your eBook’s text and images into an attractive layout for readers. This step is crucial before publishing an eBook. It’s similar to print book interior design and formatting but is tailored for the digital format. Standard eBook formatting (ePub and .mobi) provides a dynamic, re-flowable layout for text and images, ensuring your eBook looks polished on all eReaders, mobile devices, and tablets.

Today’s readers expect eBooks to meet the same standards as printed books, so it’s important to deliver a professional digital design compatible with popular devices like Kindle, Nook, or iPad.

At BookBaby Official, our expert designers will help you create an exceptional reading experience with a custom format that features a well-organized page layout and clear typeface to keep your readers engaged.

How does the process work?

Professional formatting is crucial for any eBook design. A clear structure and readable typeface help create a layout that engages your reader. Once you’ve chosen your design options and saved your quote, you’ll complete a brief design questionnaire. This allows you to share your vision for your eBook’s mood or page style.

Each section of your manuscript (foreword, dedication, chapters, etc.) will be custom formatted to ensure a polished eBook layout. You can also upload your own images for us to incorporate. Our designers will blend your input with their expertise to craft a custom-designed eBook that captivates readers. We will then provide you with an EPUB proof of your eBook for approval.
