eBook Conversion

Convert books stored as PDFs and other formats into eBook standards including ePub & Kindle

High quality conversion process using software and humans
DDD can convert from any of the common digital publishing formats into any of the major eBook standards. We can also start with physical books and do the scanning. We use a combination of software and people to get the highest quality conversion. Unlike scripts, with our process, complex layout elements like tables and non-standard characters are correctly converted into eBook format.

Input can be digital or paper
DDD can start with any of the common digital publishing file formats such as PDF, Quark and InDesign. We can take as input PDF files that include text or ones that are simply images. If a digital version does not yet exist, we can do high fidelity scanning from hard-cover or soft-cover editions. Economical approaches can be used for non-fragile books or careful non-destructive approaches for fragile or rare materials.

Output is an eBook for Kindle, eReader, iPhone and other readers
DDD will create eBook formats — including ePub and bookmarked PDF files — compatible with the Amazon Kindle, the iPhone, the eReader and other handheld reading devices. We will provide all of the components necessary so the eBook is easily navigable and displays beautifully on the device. These include a hyperlinked table of contents, a stylesheet and the appropriate metadata.

Complete and accurate conversion including complex layout elements
Our process uses a combination of software and people to ensure an extremely high quality conversion of your content. We accurately convert even complex layout elements to the appropriate XML tags. This includes tables, footnotes, illustrations, chapters, sections and special characters.

eBook sales are growing dramatically
People are reading everywhere—and on everything. Portable reading devices are quickly becoming commonplace; wholesale eBook sales increased by over 200% between 2008 and 2009 according to the International Digital Publishing Forum and the Association of American Publishers. The eBook will soon be as well-known and as accessible as the MP3.

Publishers need a cost-effective, skilled and reliable vendor
While book digitization and ePub conversion has begun in earnest, publishers are still seeking out partners who can meet their demands for quality and deliver on their promises.
