It is imperative for eBooks to be WCAG compliant. With the ePUB3 conversion process, you can offer better semantics, media overlays, pronunciation hints, and text-to-speech playback. This makes eBooks accessible to the audience from various walks of life.

Layout & Searchability

The format is dynamic in nature and is supported by emerging technologies, such as HTML5 and CSS3. Since it is an HTML5 format, the text can be hyperlinked to refer to internal sections of the eBook and to external reference links to provide more informational resources on the subject. ePUB3 also incorporates SEO capabilities, enabling online readers to search content based on the keywords.

Universal Language Support

The shrinking global market is encouraging companies to reach out to the wider audience by establishing a connection with the natives in their own language. ePUB3 format allows you to seamlessly reach the audience by narrowing down the language hurdle.

The software is designed in such a way that it provides global language support and has the capability to handle the flow of the text Right to Left or Left to Right.

Interactive Content

The technological advancements in the eBook segment have provided the readers with a better reading experience. ePUB3 format is ideal for offering more engaging and interactive content with the inclusion of dynamic multimedia elements.

Through ePUB3, the chances of offering greater access, functionality, and accessibility to readers increases as it is both very clear and attractive and adjusts perfectly with the dimensions of the device/e-reader screen while keeping the original layout and format intact.

Greater Traceability

Enterprises invest a lot of time, effort, and resources in training and development initiatives. There are times when they end up with a large volume of data, in the form of research papers, brochures, presentations, and more.

A manual process to access, trace, and interlink these data is ineffective and time-consuming. ePUB3 provides a traceability feature that allows users to search content and access it exactly at the time when they want to use it.

Improved Analytics 

You can analyze a reader’s feedback, and trace the number of times an eBook or paper is downloaded. In other words, you can analyze end-users’ responses to the content and accordingly enhance it for better productivity. Besides, ePUB3 also provides features, such as surveys and polls, to help businesses generate detailed insights into readers’ responses to the content.

Secure Content 

ePUB3 adheres to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) standards, which means that the content can only be accessed and shared by the owner of the content, who has the key to unlock it.

Basically, the DRM prevents unauthorized access to specific-user owned content, thus ensuring its copyright and use.

Rich Media Formats 

The new approach to learning includes textbooks with rich media formats, such as audio, videos, and other interactive elements. Since ePUB3 is based on the HTML5 format, it includes all the HTML5’s capabilities for rich media integration and interactivity. 

Text and Speech Features 

With ePUB3, publishers can use updated eBook improvements, such as talk aloud, pronunciation, text intonation, and other interactive features, to massively increase the end-users’ reach. This format is highly beneficial for readers with disabilities, such as visual impairment.

Automatic ePUB3 Conversion 

Complex processes are simplified through technology. ePUB3 conversion should be no different. However, ensuring that the ePUB3 conversion process doesn’t affect the file format is important. Here is a guide to ePUB3 conversion while keeping the file format intact. 

A wide range of ePUB3 conversion tools are available that will help you create rich and interactive eBooks. Kitaboo offers automatic ePUB3 conversion services and enables you to deliver eBooks across devices.

Conclusion
