Online shops have seveal requirements concerning eBooks. In order for your eBook to be available everywhere, you should pay attention to the following points:

Metadata

- Metadata and data on your cover must coincide.
- Respect English grammar and spelling.
- The description in your metadata must contain at least 200 characters.

Data

- Tables, columns and text boxes don’t show correctly in ePUB files. Please save them as images and insert them into your document later on.
- Use one font only for the whole text and make sure your title is H1 and your subtitle is H2.
- Most of eReaders render color texts in grayscale.
Include an index with at least two entries. Without an index your eBook can’t be published.
- Do not insert too many newlines, as most of eReaders display them as empty pages.
- Do not include headlines and footers.
- Licensing terms and copyright notice must be included.

Your ePUB data must not contain the following elements:
- Advertising and shop-links
- Price indications

Prohibited content:
- Right-wing extremist content;
- Content that advocates against an individual, group or organization;
- Copyrighted material;
- Violent content;
- Weapon-related content.

Cover Artwork/Images

Please note: the size of the cover uploaded separately and the size of the cover in the ePub file are different.

- Your cover/back-cover must have one side of min. 3000 pixels (max. 5000 pixels) and a resolution of 300 dpi.

- Add your cover/back-cover as a "flexible image" in your ePub file. The image should be 625 x 1000 pixels.

- Please center all pictures in your ePub file and do not add too many or too big images (max. 500 pixels).
