6 Things to Consider While Selecting an eBook Solution

6 Things to Consider While Selecting an eBook Solution

By Mike Harman | eBook solution | 0 comment | 20 March, 2018 | 6

It’s never easy to pick up the right eBook solution provider from the number of options available online. In a competitive market, providers often negotiate with quality to lower prices and stay ahead in the race. As a result, the output suffers beyond recovery. It’s always better to be meticulous in the selection process before finalizing one.

Here are some quick tips to keep in mind when you’re looking for an eBook solution.

User-Friendly Features

The entire objective of having an eBook is not only to reach out to a wider audience but also to make it user-friendly, so they can access the content without any hassle. eBooks are broadly divided into fixed-layout and reflowable. Where fixed-layout is true to the original layout of the printed book, re-flowable format easily adjusts to the device orientation.

Besides, as the technology is evolving, a lot of formats are emerging to enhance the user experience. Newer eBook formats allow publishers to add interactivities, like audio, video, presentations, photographs or even relevant third-party links.

Alignment with the offline product

Going digital is surely a big step. However, one should not compromise on the actual product. There is a liberty of making it interactive, which few eBook solutions can address, but completely changing the content format might create confusion. Hence, it’s always advisable to go with an eBook solution that would replicate the original version into digital format while maintaining consistency.

Adaptability

An eBook will be read on various platforms: tablets, desktops, laptops, and mobile phones. Whilst ensuring that the digital version is in sync with the original version, look for the adaptability feature as well. The solution provider should be able to provide a platform that’s apt with the latest technology and allow multiple user-friendly features. Don’t hesitate to ask for a sample/demo before taking the final call.

Right Format

Yes, there are various formats of eBooks: EPUB, HTML, et al. It’s always important to get a clear understanding about all the available eBook formats and select the one that suits you best. Select the best format keeping in mind your audience and their choice.

End-to-end Solution

It’s preferable to go with someone who offers an end-to-end solution. It not only helps you deal with one company but would also be cost-efficient. Furthermore, if your project is handled by only one company, you have better accountability and control over the output.

Cost

Costing of the solution will surely vary from vendor to vendor. However, before you opt for the lowest bidder offering the eBook Solution, it’s always important to consider the above points. Make a wise decision as it’s going to have a huge impact on your final output.
