FAQ

What does the ebook conversion involve?

If you have a Word document or a book formatted in Adobe InDesign that was sent for printing, I can convert it into an ebook to be offered in all online retail stores or for independent distribution. You'll be able to retain the original design of your book. The process includes three error checks and incorporates all my professional judgment when it comes to addressing and resolving any issues.

Why an InDesign file?

Because it's the most widely used program in the publishing sector and offers the best features. That's why it's the program I use, along with others, to complete the conversion. For this, I'll need the book package, which includes the layout file (.indd or idml), the fonts used, and the images. Don't worry about your originals; once the conversion is complete, I'll delete any copies I have, both of the original and the ebook.

What if I don't have a layout file?

I can still convert it. However, the cost will increase depending on the files you have. They can be text files (docx or similar) or PDFs. Consult with me for a quote for your particular book.

Can I see the ebook before it's finished?

Once I have the necessary files, I'll start the conversion, and as soon as it's complete, I'll send you the ebook for your review. Upon receiving your approval, I'll send you the package of files needed to host it on online stores.

Can I retain all the design details from my printed book?

Many features of your printed book's design can be retained, but it will depend largely on the reading device. Hierarchies and structures can be preserved perfectly.

What if I encounter errors when trying to upload the file?

Each platform has its own preferences for ebook formatting. The ebook I'll send you will work for the majority, and I'm familiar with their requirements. However, it's possible that a different platform may request changes. In that case, just resend me the details of the marked errors, and I'll correct everything for you to try again, this time without errors.

How is the service process?

First, send me the book so I can review and provide a quote. Then, you'll receive the payment link via email. Before starting, you must pay the full service amount. Once the payment is confirmed, I begin the conversion. After it's converted and sent via email for your review, you'll have 3 days for feedback. After that, I'll consider the final version accepted, close the project, and send you the complete package needed for uploading to online stores. Finally, I'll delete all the files used.

How do I pay for the service?

By bank deposit or transfer, with debit and credit cards, through Mercadopago or Todopago (for Argentina), or also through Paypal or Payoneer. You will receive a payment link by email (or bank details for deposit or transfer). Along with the file package, you will receive my invoice for the service.
