If your manuscript isn’t final, start with a Manuscript Assessment. If you want an end-to-end path from assessment to publish, choose Get Ink’d. If your interior is final, request eBook Production.

A strong ebook is built on a professionally finished interior. That’s why we typically don’t begin eBook production until your manuscript has been edited and your interior is finalized.
In Get Ink’d, your EPUB is built from the same final print interior InDesign file we typeset—so the print and ebook editions stay aligned, stable, and professional.
A professional EPUB built from your finished files and designed to render reliably across major reading systems.
During typesetting, we tag and link the interior in InDesign so the ebook exports cleanly and navigates the way readers expect—TOC, internal links, and (when applicable) notes, references, and index navigation.
We manage the editing, design, production, and distribution — all executed by your team.
A retailer-ready EPUB built from your finished files
Note: This service assumes your interior is final (no editing/content changes), and retailers make the final decision on acceptance and labels.
DRM (when aligned and supported), fixed-layout EPUB when appropriate, and accessibility-aware structure based on your book and distribution plan.
We keep the process simple.
Minimal lift: send the final files—we handle the technical work.
Most ebooks are reflowable, which means text adapts to different screens and reader settings.
Readers can change font size (and often fonts and spacing). We build the ebook so it remains readable, consistent, and professional—even when settings change.
Navigation is part of quality—especially for nonfiction and reference-heavy books.
We build and test:
Retailers have different quirks and requirements. You don’t need to learn them—we do.
Optimized for: Amazon Kindle • Apple Books • Google Play Books • Kobo • Barnes & Noble / NOOK
Retailers make the final acceptance decision—we do the work to maximize first-pass success
A significant share of our nonfiction titles have been recognized by Amazon with a “Great on Kindle” message (selection-based; not guaranteed).
Great on Kindle is an Amazon program designed to help customers discover high-quality nonfiction eBooks. If a title qualifies, Amazon may include it in the Great on Kindle store and display a detail-page message identifying the book as “Great on Kindle.” (Selection is controlled by Amazon.)
In practice, it signals a professional Kindle reading experience—especially important for nonfiction where navigation, structure, and formatting directly impact credibility.
DRM (Digital Rights Management) is retailer-controlled encryption that can reduce casual copying and file sharing. It is not a guarantee against piracy, and in some cases it can add friction for legitimate readers.
Our default preference is to use DRM unless it conflicts with your goals, distribution strategy, or positioning. We’ll confirm the decision with you before distribution.
Accessibility is increasingly important for readers, retailers, and institutional channels. We build ebooks with clear structure and navigation so more readers can use them effectively.
If you have specific accessibility requirements, we’ll scope them clearly up front.
For most books, reflowable EPUB is best. Fixed layout can be appropriate for highly visual books when design must remain exact.
If fixed layout is a fit, we’ll recommend it after reviewing your interior—and explain the tradeoffs in plain language.
You shouldn’t have to take our word for it.
Want to see what “retailer-ready” actually feels like? Download a real, full-length EPUB (founder-owned, non-client content) and preview the navigation and reading experience on your device.
How to preview it:
Apple Books (Mac/iPhone/iPad): open the file and it will import automatically.
Kindle: use Send-to-Kindle, or open it in Kindle Previewer.
Kobo/Other: import using your device app or Calibre.
Prefer discretion?
Yes. In Get Ink’d, eBook production is part of the same professional pipeline as your final print files—so the ebook is built from the final print interior InDesign file, not unstable drafts.
When your interior is already final (typically from a packaged InDesign file or final PDF). If your book isn’t ready, start with a Manuscript Assessment.
Yes. Reflowable ebooks allow reader settings. We build your EPUB so it remains clean and readable even when those settings change.
Yes. During typesetting, everything is tagged and linked in InDesign so navigation exports cleanly and works for readers.
Yes—when applicable to your book. We build and test navigation for notes, references, and index needs as part of production.
Where supported and aligned with your goals. Our default preference is to use DRM unless it conflicts with strategy or positioning, and we confirm the choice with you before distribution.
When a book truly needs design locked in place (highly visual layouts), fixed layout may be appropriate. For most books, reflowable EPUB is best.
