Questions authors ask

Do all retailers use the same requirements?

No. EPUB is a common standard, but stores and aggregators can add their own technical, metadata, content, and account requirements.

Can one EPUB work everywhere?

Often a well-built reflowable EPUB can serve multiple channels, but each distribution path should still be previewed and checked.

Do you upload for me?

Upload assistance may be available as an add-on where account access and platform rules allow it.
