I would be interested to know what the rate, or range of rates, a professional would charge for formatting such ePubs.
For a block of 50 books I would charge $2,000. That's wholesale of course.

I prefer text files rather than HTML, no style sheets, chapter images are okay if delivered in ready to use format. Graphic work is extra. The publishing company also provides a cover of appropriate size and the ISBN-13 number.

The publisher will receive a clean, validated ePub file. - Fabe
