Epub Formatting Services
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
- Barnes & Noble
- IngramSpark
- Draft2Digital
- Lulu
The beauty of working with EbookEnhancers for your ePub formatting services is that we will produce a single eBook file that is compatible with practically all publishing platforms, ensuring you can reach a wide and varied audience. See also – Where to distribute ebooks?

What beautiful work! I never thought I would call a Table of Contents “beautiful” but this is real the best-looking format job I have seen in years. Sincere thanks.
Excellent work! Professional, prompt & knowledgeable. Ebook looks exactly like my printed book. Headers, footers, borders, shading, boxes, images – he captured it all & delivered two days ahead of schedule! HIS WORK IS WELL WORTH EVERY DIME. I highly recommend him & will use his services again.

Project was delivered on-time. I requested a modification which was done promptly and the conversion was perfect. Will use this service again.
Absolutely fantastic job!!! I was worried my original beautiful design would not be reflected well into e-book format and was thrilled to see how well he and his team translated it, and in such a timely manner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND their work!!!!
Great experience!! He was fast and professional, with very reasonable prices. Will not hesitate to contact him again.
He, thanks for modifying my request and I apologize for any misunderstandings. You are indeed a true professional, and I do believe I will be using your services should the need arise in the future.
Very easy to work with. Fast service. We had to ask for some modifications but that was understandable considering all the formatting in the 252-page print book. Overall, it was a very good experience to work with him on this!
This is my third order with him. He delivers on time and delivers quality work. He is worth the price. I have learned this the hard way – low price – bad result. His ebooks upload every time and look great. Do not use anyone else, trust me on this, especially if you are new to publishing.
My book had some odd features but I got what I wanted after a few revisions – A+!
Even though this review is long overdue, his did great work with quick delivery. Will definitely return when need arises for future projects!
Excellent – as usual. I’ve used him numerous times (and will continue to) and have NEVER been disappointed. Their work is excellent and turn-around time is fast. Stop looking and order your order today.
Fantastic. They did what I could not, which was get the darn document aligned and formatted correctly lol. Definitely will be coming back when my other books are finished. They go above and beyond to cater to your needs and the price? Pretty awesome too. Thanks!
I am impressed with this sellers quality of work and speed too. The seller delivered just as promised and even better. I will be very happy to work with Him again.
Fantastic Work! Thanks so much I could not be happier with the conversion of my book! HIGHLY recommend this service!
He is incredible. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations – the level of detail – ah, I can’t say enough! This order was delivered on-time, as expected. Thanks SO much for the pleasant experience.
I just started working with this service, but thus far, I am very impressed with the service and the quality of the work! I intend to do MUCH more work with this seller!
Very impressed with the result. Excellent communication and was done on time. Will definitely buy again.
He always does a fantastic job with Kindle conversions! Would strongly recommend him for any job, simple OR complex. Fast service and EXCELLENT quality!
I’ve had a great experience with him. The Table of Contents is indexed and the images are seamlessly integrated!
He is the only one I trust to format my ebook!!!! Thanks a million!!! Highly recommend!!!!
I first came to him in a pinch – my original file conversion by a another contractor had been done incorrectly and customers were complaining. He converted the files successfully and with lightening speed. Naturally, I had convert 2nd ebook and was equally pleased. Highly recommend!
He is a true professional. Not just a really talented book converter, but also I needed something changed, probably because I’m a technical idiot. He found a way to make it work and was very accommodating. Highly recommend. 5 stars! Craig.
This was our first children’s book. I was definitely pleased with the result. Will be doing more children’s books with Him.
My experience is that the order was competently fulfilled and on time. I am very pleased with the result and expect to return again often, and recommend to others.
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.
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.
I tried many times and spent countless hours trying to convert my book to ebook. He not only did this in record time but the files are perfect. I will never try to convert my files again but will definitely work with him. Exceptional Service and Exceptional Prices. Thanks a million.
EXCELLENT experience! Incredibly fast service and will work on it until it is perfect! Professionally done. Performed tasks other vendors did not know how to do. HIGHLY recommended! Would definitely use again! Thanks so much!
Flawless execution. Speedy delivery. In the past, He has handled revisions easily, but the last couple of times they haven’t been needed. Very very good.
He stayed with this computer illiterate 70 year old, until my thick skull could understand what he needed. His patience is amazing!
He immediately identified a mistake I had made with the upload, informed me, and patiently waited for me to get bak to him. When I did, he provided the services promised.
He is very easy to work with and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again
EXCELLENT service! Walked me through questions I had and made the process of converting my .pdf book into a download that was acceptable for all Kindle readers regardless of the device. Will definitely use this professional again!
I wish to thank him for an outstanding job. I really would recommend this vendor to anyone. A fantastic job was done of converting my files.
I had a special request and it was taken care of very nicely. I am so pleased with how my book turned out that I submitted more right away for a series I’m doing. Thank you so much !
I submitted several books at one time and the only issue I had was not having a Table of Contents made from my chapter headings. We quickly worked together to resolve this. Quick turnaround and looks very nice. A BIG thanks !
Thank you so much for a rapid and fantastic job! My ebook was very complex and most other contractor would not touch it! But he did a perfect job with it and at a fair price. I will be using you over and over again.
Excellent Result and always on time! I’ve had four books converted so far, all with precise rendering. Couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend him for your book.
Very professional; would recommend without question and will definitely continue using these services in future. Thank you!
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.
~ Author, Orsini House.
Great finished product. Fast turnaround. Fantastic overall service.
~ Author, voicecollective.press
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.
I asked Ebook Enhancers to provide me the ebook version of my book “Flâneur”. Very good service, trustful communication. Nothing to complain about.
Ebook Enhancers did an outstanding job making my ebook! They had a fast turnaround time and gave me an outstanding finished product. Everything was aligned perfectly and looked just like I requested. They also answered my questions and gave me updates on the ebook status along the way. I highly recommend their services!
~ Author of Non-Potable and Edit Generation.
Amazing service! They are responsive and prompt with their delivery, and are generous with their ability to make revisions after the initial work. Highly recommended for anyone who requires any sort of self publishing assistance! Will definitely come back again.
