E-book Optimization Procedures

Many publishers are discovering that their ePub files do not work well. They have discovered problems in conversion, are receiving bad reviews, or cannot get their books to validate. Scribe's e-book optimization services will help get your e-books back into the market.

We will examine your ePub files and discover what issues exist. Depending on what is necessary, we will take the following steps to ensure your e-books are fully functional and completely optimized:

  • OCR Cleanup--If books were created using OCR, then we will make sure that OCR issues are resolved and text brought to 99.996% accuracy
  • PDF Cleanup--make sure that the typical PDF extraction errors (e.g. paragraph breaks, hyphenation, missing content) are corrected
  • Paragraph Integrity--make sure that each paragraph and image in the book is present in the e-book and that each is handled appropriately
  • Entity and Image Cleanup--ensure that all entities are properly handled and that images have been converted properly
  • Section and Page Break Management--ensure that ePubs are built to have proper page breaks
  • Proper Navigation--make sure that books are easy to navigate and built to optimized standards
  • Rebuild EPubs--to standards that are optimized for all devices, especially iPad and Sony readers
  • EPub Testing--validate and test ePubs using devices and on-line tools
  • Deliver Final Files--to you and your e-book distributors
