EBooks are the way of the future as they present numerous benefits that a standard book cannot deliver. Some of the glowing and most intuitive benefits of reading literature in digital format as opposed to a physical format include.
On top of these benefits, many studies have
also shown that the learning gained from an interactive digital content is more
permanent than that gained from a simple book. However, one major benefit of
eBooks is for the writers and creators of these books. Unlike a standard
physical book getting your eBook out in the market is much easier. The cycle
from writing to getting your book published online to marketing it and selling
it is much smaller and easier to pursue. However, as a writer one may not know
everything about the latest trends of getting the book published online, so we
will help you with some insights.
There are many formats in which your eBook
could be published. While converting your book into an eBook you will have to
consider and decide whether to opt for a fixed format or a re-flow able format.
To give you a brief introduction of either
of these formats:
·
Fixed format is similar to or
reflective of how the book will appear when printed. Therefore you could call
it a digital mirrored image of what the book would be like in a printed format.
The contents of the page are placed at fixed and unchangeable coordinates within
a page. Some examples of it include PostScript and Adobe PDF.
·
Re-flow able format as one might
intuitively imagine the exact opposite. Here the content is designed such that
its coordinates may vary depending on the screen size of the device on which it
is being upon. Examples include HTML and also simple and plain text.
A fixed-layout format ought to be the
preferred choice in scenarios where high-quality illustrations are present in
the eBook. If converted in this particular format then the creator will have a higher level of control on each aspect of
the book from layout to text to images. This is because in contrast to the
standard ePUB format, the fixed layout format allows you to use a
pixel-specific size.
Therefore it is quite easily apparent that
in terms of formatting, a Fixed
Layout eBook Conversion has much more to offer. The appeal to it is
underscored even further when one accounts for the fact that these books can
replicate the regular printed PDFs or books to a higher degree thereby
guaranteeing your readers both quality and authenticity such that the orthodox
readers won’t miss the feeling of reading a physical standard book, so
essentially you get the best of both worlds.
