fixed layout mobi to epub

fruitlesseffort · 01-26-2014, 08:10 AM

Hello

I created, from scratch, a childrens ebook for a friend. I am now looking for the quickest and easiest way to convert it to a fixed layout epub.

As this is my first ebook I created the .opf, .css and other files myself. It was also created specifically for Kindle so it contains .mobi exclusive stuff (region magnification). Is it just a case of removing all of that from the .opf and the html files? If so can someone point me at a good sample .opf for this format.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, you'll have to design most of it from scratch, and since ePub2 only has very limited fixed layout support, you'll have to create an ePub3 book. (You'll find some fixed layout sample ePub3 books here.)

If you don't have an iPad or another iDevice, you also may want to install Readium.
