I have my book in PDF format already. Is that the same as the ePub format?
Nearly the opposite, really. Proper ePub formatting lets your words re-flow at a readable size to fit any device, much like words on a web page re-flow when you resize the window. Readers can change fonts, sizes, even colors, to suit their personal preferences. Because an ePub format book is flexible, your book may be 200 pages on a big device, 600 pages on a small one. But it’s always very legible. PDFs were designed to look exactly the same on every computer screen: the fonts, size, and layout are all locked in place, as if they were a photograph. That’s great for computers. But on small e-reader devices, PDF documents shrink to unreadable proportions.
