Reflowable versus Fixed Layout EPUB and Device Checks

Reflowable versus Fixed Layout EPUB and Device Checks

Most books suit a reflowable ebook: the text adapts to the reader's screen and font size, so the file needs clean structure rather than a fixed design. Picture books, cookbooks and heavily designed books may need a fixed layout instead, where each page keeps its design. We recommend the right approach for your book and explain the trade-offs.

Every file is built with a linked table of contents, proper headings, embedded or appropriately fallback fonts and correctly sized images, then checked on a range of devices and reading apps before delivery.

Text-led books are almost always reflowable. Picture books, cookbooks and layout-heavy books often need fixed layout.
