At this point we add the front matter and back matter,
including such items as the publisher’s name, legal disclaimers, copyright etc. The next stage involves adding images where applicable,
creating page breaks and entering navigation marks which will be used later
when we create a table of contents.
After carefully re-checking through the book for any missed
formatting errors, we manually create a table of contents which consists of
entering a chapter list, either of chapter headings or chapter numbers, at the
beginning of the book. Once we have created the table of contents, we link each
entry to the appropriate point within the book using the navigation marks that
we added earlier. The table of contents headings then act as links to each section
allowing the reader to navigate their way through the book.
Once we are happy that the table of contents is working
correctly, we add a cover image to the book. This could be an existing cover
image from a book that has been previously published as a physical book. If required, we can design a cover for your ebook. Click HERE to find out more about our ebook cover design service.
With all these elements in place, we now convert the book
into HTML. After conversion we import the file into an ebook creating program which allows us to
produce a preview of the book locally to check for errors. We also check the book file on all leading ebook reading devices.
The Final Check: The preview enables us to check the
finished product and make any corrections before publishing directly on to the ebook
vendors respective websites. Immediately prior to publishing, the book (Now in
HTML, ePub, Mobi or MS Word format depending on which platform we are
publishing to) and any associated images are placed into specific folders ready
for uploading.
