What is eBook Formatting?
eBook formatting is the process of converting your manuscript into a digital format that e-readers can display properly. Unlike print books with fixed layouts, ebooks must adapt to different screen sizes and reader preferences.
A well-formatted ebook includes:
- Proper structure — chapters, headings, and paragraphs that devices recognize
- Navigation — table of contents that lets readers jump between chapters
- Responsive text — content that reflows for any screen size
- Embedded metadata — title, author, and description for store listings
Poor ebook formatting leads to frustrated readers, bad reviews, and lower sales. Booksmith handles all the technical details automatically.
