Posted 2 months ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for an experienced eBook formatting specialist to convert a completed 254-page book from Adobe InDesign into a flawless, fully validated, reflowable EPUB format for Amazon Kindle and other major platforms. The book is in the business category (non-fiction). Because this format relies on a flexible HTML structure, we need someone who understands how to adapt a print/fixed design into a highly readable, device-agnostic digital layout without sacrificing visual appeal. Scope of Work: Structural Review: Analyze the original Adobe InDesign file to prepare it for seamless digital export. Text Box Auditing: Detect and correct any overset or broken text boxes, ensuring all text is properly threaded and linked. Style Tagging: Adjust and map paragraph/character styles to ensure they apply correctly to export tags for accurate HTML/EPUB conversion. Reflowable Adaptation: Modify layout elements to fit the technical standards and limitations of the EPUB format while maintaining optimal readability across various screen sizes. Media Optimization: Optimize all internal images and hyperlinks for digital devices. Validation & QA: Export and thoroughly validate the final file to ensure zero formatting errors. Final Deliverables: Fully validated, error-free EPUB file (ready for Amazon KDP upload). Book cover optimized specifically for Amazon Kindle guidelines. Integration of the provided ISBN and legal/copyright page. Required Qualifications: Proven track record of converting Adobe InDesign files to reflowable EPUB/Kindle formats (please provide portfolio examples of previous conversions). Deep understanding of EPUB standards, HTML/CSS coding for eBooks, and Amazon KDP formatting guidelines. Meticulous attention to detail regarding typography, text threading, and layout adaptability. Budget: $300 (Open to competitive bids based on experience) Note to Applicants: Please include a brief description of your approach to reflowable formatting and examples of similar non-fiction layout conversions you have completed.
