    EPUB Conversion Service to Fit Your Content Conversion Needs

    By Devika Deshpande | Digital Transformation Services | Comments are Closed | 21 February, 2023 | 0

    In this digital era, eBooks have become a big hit. The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, gave the eBook industry a major push upward. Almost all brick-and-mortar bookstores out there survived by stepping into the eBook industry.

    Forbes reports that eBook readership increased by 30% amidst the COVID-19 lockdown. Readers now prefer reading their eBooks on a variety of platforms like Kindle, smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.

    If you want to make your mark in the industry, you need to ensure you provide readers with the eBook format they prefer. Out of the two popular eBook formats, EPUB and PDF, EPUB is much more preferred, and rightly so.

    As a publisher trying to compete in this ever-growing eBook industry, you must find reliable EPUB conversion services. Let’s explore everything you need to know about EPUBs and conversion services.

    1. What is an EPUB File?
    2. What is a PDF File?
    3. What are EPUB Conversion Services?
    4. Why Do You Need EPUB Conversion Services As a Publisher?
    5. Conclusion

    1. What is an EPUB File?

    EPUB, which is short for electronic publication, is an eBook format that uses the ‘.epub’ file extension name. It is highly flexible and adjusts the font and page size automatically depending on the reading device in use.

    This allows readers to have a tailor-made reading experience regardless of the device they are using. This same flexibility is not offered by PDF files; hence, one of the main reasons publishers and readers are constantly on the lookout for EPUB conversion services. 

    2. What is a PDF File?

    PDF, which is short for portable document format, is a globally recognized format for digital documents. However, PDF files are not reflowable, i.e., they cannot adjust themselves to the reading device and screen.

    For instance, if you are reading a PDF designed for a laptop screen on your tablet, you will be required to pinch and zoom the document to read. On the other hand, an EPUB file will automatically resize itself. 

    3. What are EPUB Conversion Services?

    EPUB conversion services refer to the process of converting digital eBooks from any other format, like PDF, MOBI, IBA, etc., to EPUB.

    This allows readers to open the EPUB-type digital eBook on any device like a Kindle, mobile, tablet, iPod, Nook, Kobo reader, etc. 

    4. Why Do You Need EPUB Conversion Services As a Publisher?

    Statistics reveal that the eBook industry is expected to grow by 3.7% annually. Hence, as a publisher, you need to offer reflowable content to your readers.

    The market is huge and highly competitive. It takes very little for readers to switch their services, costing you a customer. Hence, ensure you offer customers what they need, especially reading files that adjust according to their screen size. 

    Here are some other benefits you must keep in mind regarding EPUB conversion services. 

    Add Interactive and Fun Functionalities

    An EPUB file does not only offer screen size adjustability but a lot of other customizing options as well. You can add interactive and fun elements to the EPUB file, like URLs, audio, videos, stickers, GIFs, etc. 

    This feature is highly beneficial if you are in the business of publishing eBooks in the education sector for students. Through this feature, you can make learning and teaching fun for students and teachers.

    Even PDF files offer some of these extendable features, but the output with EPUB files is much smoother and glitch-free. 

    SEO-Friendly EPUB Files

    As we mentioned above, EPUB files are highly customizable, allowing you to add as many internal and external links as you want. This way, you can make your EPUB content SEO-rich.

    In the long run, it will not just be beneficial for your publishing business but also allow users to search for your books easily and quickly. 

    Recognizes Multiple Languages

    The world is a diverse place, and numerous language speakers coexist together. EPUB files allow you to reach this diverse audience seamlessly by providing global language support.

    As they can handle multiple flows and alignments, every language can be adapted by EPUBs. If you are especially planning to tap into the international market, you need to find efficient and reliable EPUB conversion services. 

    High Security and Safety

    DRM, i.e., Digital Rights Management, ensures legal access to all digital content. It uses software testing tools, compliance guides, and access control technologies to guarantee a fair distribution of copyrighted work in the digital universe. 

    EPUB files can easily adhere to all the DRM standards. Hence, publishers, distributors, and readers do not have to worry about illegal activities like copyright infringement and piracy. Additionally, more security features can be added to EPUB files, like password protection, location tracking, etc. 

    Text and Speech Features

    EPUB files can also be customized to add text and speech features. Users who are visually impaired or have other disabilities rely on text and speech features like read-aloud, text intonation, pronunciation, etc. EPUB files are highly inclusive and promise a custom-made reading experience to all users. 

    Less Time, High Quality

    EPUB conversion services might seem very complicated, but they are not. Once the system is in place, it can convert any files into EPUB format in less than a minute.

    If you are using an efficient and effective EPUB conversion service, you will be able to keep your customers happy by offering them high-quality EPUB books in the minimum time possible. 

    5. Closing Thoughts

    Last but not least, EPUB conversion services can make or break your publishing business. All the customers and readers out there want to get their hands on eBooks that are easy to read and access. 

    If you have a growing business and are performing EPUB conversions yourself via unreliable sources and software, we are here to help you. Now is the right time to hire a trustworthy EPUB conversion service.
