Digital Conversion

As the ebook revolution unfolds at its rapid pace, it is increasingly apparent that a publisher's digital files represent its brand. The small cost difference between an adequate file and a high-quality digital product will pay dividends over the many years these files will be in circulation.

codeMantra has been a supplier of digital conversion services to publishers for over a decade, working for all major international publishers. codeMantra is a preferred service provider for Apple, Amazon, Barnes&Noble and Kobo. We have the expertise to deliver high quality enhanced e-books using epub 3.0 (html 5) which are increasingly commanding attention.

ePub 3, the most common new format, combines the best features of Open eBook and XHTML to provide a solid formatting foundation for eBooks of every description.

Fixed Layout ePub allows the creation of books with precise layout, closely matching the actual page layout of the source, using CSS. With fixed layout files, you can replicate printed pages with the same use of colors, fonts, text formatting and precise placement of elements on the page. This format is popular for children’s picture books, comics & graphic novels, technical & engineering books and cookbooks.

enhanced ePub files are ePub 3 files with audio and video files embedded to create a more interactive and engaging user experience.

Mobi8 files provide features similar to fixed layout ePub files for distribution by Amazon.
