It’s one of my main goals in evaluating ePubs. Still, a small size means it downloads easily over poor networks and takes less space on devices. Other programs, however don’t have that kind of penalty. On Kindle, if you’re over 8 MB, you should opt for the 35% royalty rate which doesn’t include download fees. The exported ePub files need to be small. The program is easy to access and simple to use. It also has options for adding matching games and other stock interactive things at the end of the book. PubCoder, from an Australian company, is a cool program, especially if you want to include multiple languages in the file. I recently tried to write out the directions to do this and it’s not HARD, but it’s complicated. ![]() I’ve been on the search this year to solve the technology problem of how to create ePubs that will work for most wide platforms (Apple, GooglePlay, Kobo, BN, and etc.). We need to create the ePubs, flood the wide markets, use our skillful marketing to market them on wide platforms, and create a viable marketplace! There’s not a critical mass of books for readers to choose from. The result is that not many ePubs are for sale on the wide platforms. Or have we just ignored the obvious choice? The technology has never been able to smoothly and easily create these ePubs. eBooks are created for reflowable text, that is when the reader changes the size of the font, the text reflows onto the next pages smoothly.īut children’s picture books and some illustrated chapter books require a fixed-format ePub. Second, and the focus of this post today, is that the technology has been hard for creators to make ePubs. But sometimes, I think we need to stop that analog thinking and go with digital thinking. Sometimes, I think that’s appropriate when there’s a lesson that needs to be shared and print is the obvious choice. I think there’s several reasons for this.įirst, kids are supposed to go light on screen time (well, THAT doesn’t happen), and the gatekeepers (parents, librarians, teachers) prefer print. As indie publishers of children’s books, we all know that print books sell best, especially paperbacks.
