  3. Web-enhanced PDF (the most commonly accepted format for Aggregators.)

We hand-code your content and images to the ePub format so that it will be compatible with various platforms.

Distribution to Portals

Upon request we will send your book to Amazon, Kobo or any distribution portal of your choice. You will need to register as a publisher on these portals if you have not done already. We will need the log in credentials and the metadata for the book for us to distribute it on the different portals.

Fixed layout KPF is tested on the Kindle Previewer, and the fixed layout ePUB is certified for Apple, Kobo and Google Playstore.
