2 Questions to Find a Good eBook Conversion Service Company


eBook conversion is upon us. Yet with the variety of eReaders and formats and the competitive field of digital publishing the eBook environment is a bit turbulent. But there is a growing market out there so how can publishers and independent authors find eBook conversion specialists who can take their published work and make them fit and readable on a Kindle, iPad or other eReader device?

Here are two quick questions to consider when qualifying a vendor…

1) Do they have samples and references?
In a job interview you always ask for references, why not do the same with an eBook conversion company? With all the variance in formats, and eReader devices, you want to make sure the company you are considering has worked with the format you need. A good, experienced company will have resources ready to show you. Ask for references of publishers or authors that they have worked with before. Look at their samples. Call a previous client and ask about the company’s project performance and value. In the end you will be glad you did.

2) How about a test project with a prospective eBook conversion service company?
There is wisdom in taking it slow with new relationships. Giving an eBook conversion company a chance to prove itself has a number of advantages:

  • It builds trust
  • You get to experience how communication will flow
  • (Most importantly) you see that the company can do the job right.

If you can get the appropriate answers to the above two questions you are well on you way to finding an eBook conversion service company you can trust with your digital publishing projects. Doing some homework and a few test projects will pay off in the long run. Happy hunting.
