Straight answers to common ebook production questions.
If your question depends on a specific retailer, book type, or accessibility requirement, use the intake form and include those details.
What is EbooksLaunch?
EbooksLaunch is an MTDLN Media LLC service focused on EPUB production, accessibility, metadata, validation, retailer readiness, and book launch support.
Do you only convert Word documents?
No. The goal is a publication-ready ebook, not a file conversion. Depending on the package, work can include structure, navigation, metadata, image handling, accessibility review, validation, and retailer preflight.
What ebook format do you deliver?
For standard reflowable ebooks, EPUB is the primary digital-publication format. PDF may also be prepared when a project requires a fixed print-style document, but PDF and EPUB serve different purposes.
Will the EPUB work on Amazon Kindle?
Amazon KDP accepts EPUB files that meet Kindle publishing requirements. We still recommend previewing the converted result in Amazon’s tools because retailer processing can expose display issues.
What does EPUB accessibility include?
Accessibility work can include semantic structure, headings, navigation, landmarks, language information, text alternatives for images, link quality, reading order, and accessibility metadata.
Does accessibility work guarantee EAA compliance?
No. We can prepare and document technical accessibility work. Whether a particular publisher or service is legally in scope under the European Accessibility Act is a legal question that may depend on exemptions and local implementation.
Do you provide ISBNs?
ISBN assignment is separate from formatting. We can help you determine where an ISBN fits into the publishing workflow and keep the assigned identifier consistent across files and distribution metadata.
Can you upload the book for me?
Upload assistance may be available as an add-on when platform rules and account-access requirements allow it.
Can you fix an EPUB someone else created?
Often, yes. We can validate and inspect an existing EPUB, identify production issues, and determine whether targeted remediation or a clean rebuild is more efficient.
How long does a standard project take?
Turnaround depends on manuscript condition, book complexity, image count, accessibility needs, and current workload. Standard projects are reviewed during intake before timing is confirmed.
Ready to make the file publication-ready?
Send the manuscript, cover, and publication details. We will identify the right production path before work begins.
