When it comes to ePub formatting services, you need to make sure you work with professionals who know what they’re doing. At EbookEnhancers, we work with authors and publishers around the world by preparing eBooks for publication, specializing in ePub formatting services in particular. Our skilled and professional team will transform your manuscript into a perfectly formatted eBook, ready for publication on a variety of platforms.
When you’ve finally finished your manuscript, the hard work is over! We fully appreciate how much talent effort goes into producing a compelling eBook, and it’s a process that often takes months or years to get right. When you’ve got your final draft back from your editor or proofreader, you’re then ready for the next step.
One of the most important steps in preparing your manuscript for eBook publication is formatting it correctly. While it can be tempting to cut corners here to save money, it’s absolutely the last thing you should do. Why? Because after spending all that time preparing the perfect text, you need to make sure your audience can actually read and enjoy it, which is where professional ePub formatting comes in.
At EbookEnhancers, we offer a professional, comprehensive ePub formatting service that guarantees your eBook will stand out from the crowd. Our universal files ensure your text can be read on practically any device without compatibility issues, ensuring your book can be enjoyed by your readers.
What is ePub formatting?
Essentially, ePub formatting is the process of preparing your eBook manuscript for publication. It is the process of programming your eBook to ensure it can be read on a variety of devices and e-readers. Because devices use a variety of software to display eBooks, you need to ensure your manuscript is formatted to precise industry standards to ensure full compatibility.
Central to the process of ePub formatting is converting your text to HTML. At EbookEnhancers, we hand-code your document in HTML to ensure that every single letter, paragraph, space, images, tables and every other feature within your text is perfectly formatted when it is viewed on an e-reader or similar device. What’s more, our coding allows readers to zoom in and out of your text and skip from one chapter to another.
Simply put, ePub formatting is absolutely vital if you hope to publish your text as an eBook.
Is it possible to format ePub without the help of professionals?
Understandably, authors hope to reduce the costs of publication, which can quickly mount up. However, if you try and cost cut when it comes to ePub formatting, you risk jeopardizing your whole publication. If you seek to format your eBook yourself, you will end up spending countless hours messing with formatting tools that you’re unfamiliar with while frantically searching the web for complicated tutorials that try and explain the process to you.
While it is possible to do it yourself, the time and hassle it will cause you are almost certainly not worth it. Instead of spending a frustrating day of your time formatting your eBook to a poor standard, you’re much better served to send it to a professional ebook formatting company like EbookEnhancers, who will take care of the process from start to finish and ensure your final manuscript is formatted perfectly.
What are the IDPF ePub formatting standards?
At EbookEnhancers, we’re fully committed to ensuring your eBook will be perfectly formatted. We follow the strict guidelines set out by the International Digital Publishing Forum [IDPF], which exists to regulate standards for eBook conversions. We use validation tools such as ePubCheck 3.0 and ePub Preflight 3.0 before publishing your manuscript. This process ensures your ePub file will be accepted by all retailers, as the converted files are tested on physical devices such as iPad, Nook, Sony Reader, Kindle, etc.
Where can I upload my ePub file when it’s complete?
As mentioned above, we run all of our conversions through validation tools to ensure your eBook can be uploaded to a variety of platforms. Many of our customers go on to publish their converted eBooks onto the following platforms:
- Apple iBookStore
- Amazon Kindle
- Google Play Store
- Smashwords
- Kobo Store

- IngramSpark
- Draft2Digital

Thank you for your excellent service. I struggled getting the eBook formatted and now it looks beautiful. I’d have never got the pictures in place the way you managed to do. Also, I sent an incorrect file – and you corrected MY mistake at no cost at all. I highly recommend you to all my friends and collegues.

My first foray into eBook conversions began with much trepidation, but that quickly dissipated after my communications with Ebook Enhancers. The response was quick, with pricing that was lower that the highest quote I received, and slightly higher that the low quote. But the quality was excellent. Even after finding a small, insignificant glitch, it was corrected immediately. This company delivers value! And that’s what is important.

Fantastic work! Our book had images and a few tweaks required and he handled everything quickly and beautifully. I am very happy with the final product! Will definitely use he again.

He saved an earlier book that had been mangled by CreateSpace’s automatic conversion of a print book to a Kindle book. In this case he took a much longer book and created a Kindle version to match an earlier one for an ARC book. I was very happy with the book when I got it.
