Digital publishing

eBook publishing.
Made properly, available globally.

An eBook should not feel like a Word document pushed through a converter. We prepare digital editions to read cleanly across current devices and retail platforms, then manage the publishing and distribution pathway.

Fontaine has worked with independent authors, businesses and organisations across both print and digital publishing for more than two decades.

The service

Conversion is only
part of the job.

A successful digital edition involves format, styling, metadata, retailer requirements, quality control and ongoing distribution. We can handle the complete pathway or work from files that are already substantially prepared.

Professional conversion

Conversion from Word, PDF or InDesign source files into retailer-ready eBook formats, with attention to structure, navigation and clean rendering.

Appropriate styling

Reflowable eBooks for most text-led books, with more specialised solutions considered for children’s, image-heavy and fixed-layout content.

Worldwide distribution

Distribution to major digital retailers including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books and Kobo, together with other supported retail channels.

Metadata + ISBN

Title information, pricing, ISBN and retailer metadata are prepared as part of the publishing setup where required.

Sales reporting

Retail sales are collated through the Fontaine/Vivid publishing system and made available through the author reporting pathway.

Your rights remain yours

Our author-service publishing model is designed so that creators retain ownership of their work rather than assigning copyright to Fontaine.

Print and digital can work together.

For many books, the strongest approach is not choosing one format over the other, but using each for what it does best.

Existing print title

Convert a current paperback or hardcover into a professionally distributed digital edition.

New publication

Prepare print and eBook editions together so metadata, cover treatment and launch timing remain coordinated.

Out-of-print work

Give an older title a practical new digital life without requiring inventory.

eBook only

For projects where digital delivery is the objective, Fontaine can manage conversion and distribution without a print edition.

Specialist eBook service. Fontaine’s dedicated eBook publishing pathway is operated through eBookPublish.com.au, where current package and distribution information is maintained.
