ePub2 & ePub3
Epub is the open e-book standard from IDPF, designed to optimize content for display on reader devices.
EPUB3 will standardize the creation of rich multimedia content and extend user interaction with eBook readers. With years of experience working to this standard, we are aware of workflows and processes that will streamline the use of EPUB3 as it gains wider acceptance. We have created EPUB3 books across various devices and EPUB3 will make it easier to create high-quality eBooks, no matter which devices emerge as winners in the marketplace; Data Esperto are ready now to help customers prepare their content to take full advantage of the new format.

Reflow and Fixed Layout
EPUB documents, unlike printed books or PDF files, are designed to change. The content flows, or reflows, to fit the screen and to fit the needs of the reader. The EPUB specification says that “content presentation should adapt to the user rather than the user having to adapt to a particular representation of content.”
But this principle doesn’t work for all types of documents. Sometimes content and designs are so intertwined they cannot be separated. Any change in appearance risks changing the meaning, or losing all meaning. Fixed-layout documents give content creators greater control over presentation, when reflowable EPUB is not suitable for the content in question.
In such cases we have the necessary experience in digitization and conversion to deliver the highest quality content at relatively low cost. We are well-equipped to deliver large-volume conversion projects that require quick turnaround times at high levels of accuracy. Our experienced team can advise whether reflow or fixed layout will work best for your content and target device. Our expertise and years of experience places us in the top tier of practitioners in the conversion services industry.
