MADE FOR THE SCREENREADING DEMO
A SMALL CHANGE OF PLANS
CHAPTER ONE

A different beginning

Mara reached the station with a notebook, a suitcase and no particular plan. For once, that felt like enough.

She found a seat by the window and opened her book. The next chapter could wait until she had finished this one.

ILLUSTRATIVE SAMPLE
Try a reading size

A small illustration of reading flexibility, not a device screenshot or a finished client ebook. Format and behaviour depend on the book and reader.

A BOOK BEYOND THE PRINTED PAGE.

The same story.
A different way to read.

Prepare an electronic edition for your chosen retailer or publishing platform, rather than treating a print PDF as the whole job.

A format that fits
EPUB and other formats you need, including files for Kindle publishing.
A considered reading experience
Text, headings, images and navigation prepared for the electronic edition.
Checked for your destination
Files checked against the requirements of the retailer or platform you select.

We recommend reflowable EPUB for adaptable reading. Fixed layout is available on request: it preserves the page design but does not adapt to the screen.
