The first page of your book should be a single right-hand page. Some users like to add the cover file as the first page of the book so when opened the reader sees the first page cover artwork.

The page size needs to be the same for every page throughout the publication.

Images should not be anchored into the text flow.

It is important that each page of the eBook has a unique name or number. InDesign page names are used and Roman numerals or page numbering prefixes can be used if required. CircularFLO will check and warn you if the same page name has been used twice.

For larger documents (over 100 pages) we recommend using an InDesign book with multiple documents that contain all the pages for the eBook.

The name of your eBook is taken from the name of your InDesign book or document unless you add one in the InDesign File Info or the CircularFLO Preferences panel.

Use the GreenLight accessibility checks to check your document and to know when it is ready to export.
