Hi, I have a landscape kids' book for print that I need to convert (recreating from scratch to single pages, as the spreads are too wide to simply export) for a fixed-layout ePub for Apple and Kindle. 

 

What are the best dimensions to create for an ePub that will work for most devices? Most of the ePub info I have found is about exporting and that won't work for this pub. Thank you!

Derek, I am aware that there are many devices around. As I stated above, I am not looking for perfection. As I also stated above, I am indeed created a fixed layout kids' book, I am also familiar with reflowable and wouldn't have the question in that case.

 

Sorry guys, I had no idea this would be such so difficult!


It's not difficult, Bob has given you the (an) answer.

Honestly, it doesn't matter. It will either expand or contract to fit the screen and there's simply no way to make sure it looks perfect on all devices.

Not worried about perfect, really. Just new and trying to sort options. 16:9? 2224x1668? I'm assuming there's a too-small for quality and too-large for file size...or maybe that gets decided on the export.

If it's already set up for print just use that and export it out and check it on your iPad using the Books app. If it's good there it won't be any better anywhere else no matter what you do.

Be prepared for issues on kindle, Windows, or Android. Reader apps are bit sketchy but Thorium Reader is showing some promise.
