Formatting is the process of taking the interior of your book – your content – and working with it to make sure that, when converted, it suits the exacting demands of eBook platforms like Amazon or distributors such as Draft2Digital. It can be a tricky process, especially if images are involved (which is why we don’t recommend them), but eBooks are expected to meet certain standards or they will be rejected or simply be unreadable by the end user. Print book files also have to meet certain standards for Print On Demand sites such as CreateSpace and Ingram Spark.
