Converted 13K Books in ePub3 Format within 18 Months

Helped a Publishing Giant grow digital Sales by 22%

The digital publishing industry has been evolving rapidly. Epub3, an advanced format for e-books, has become a game-changer. This case study explores how a leading publishing house transitioned to Epub3 and the benefits it experienced. The transformation involved overcoming challenges, implementing solutions, and achieving remarkable outcomes.

Background: The Publishing Giant

The client, a global publishing company, specializes in educational content. With over 50 million annual readers, they faced a growing demand for interactive and accessible digital content. Their traditional e-books lacked interactivity and accessibility, leading to declining engagement rates. At that point, the company approached us for our ePub3 conversion services. Positively, we helped the company and figured out the problems, which look like;

Key Problems:

  • Poor user experience due to static content.
  • Limited accessibility for visually impaired readers.
  • Incompatibility with modern devices and platforms.
  • High costs associated with maintaining outdated formats.

The company recognized the need for a robust solution to maintain its market leadership.

Why Epub3?

The company recognized the need for a robust solution to maintain its market leadership.

  • Rich Media Support: Includes audio, video, and interactive elements.
  • Accessibility Features: Compliant with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly on various devices.
  • Enhanced User Engagement: Supports animations, quizzes, and multimedia.

The Epub3 Conversion Process

a. Assessment and Planning

The first step was a comprehensive content audit. We audited the client’s library consisted of over 10,000 titles. Each title was evaluated based on:

  • Complexity of content (text, images, tables, multimedia).
  • Target audience needs (students, professionals, general readers).
  • Accessibility requirements.

A phased approach was devised by our team here. We previously handled a similar project where we applied a phased approach, which got us with desired results. The following things we did in three phases for this publishing company.

Phase 1:

Convert 20% of high-demand titles.

Phase 2:

Scale conversion based on user feedback.

Phase 3:

Full library migration to Epub3.

b. Implementation

A dedicated team of conversion specialists was formed from our side. Key tasks included: content structuring where they ensured content adhered to epub3 specifications. Adding interactivity by embedding videos, audio, and quizzes. Accessibility enhancements through incorporating screen reader compatibility and alternative text. Testing and validation to ensure flawless performance across devices. The process was streamlined using advanced tools and automated workflows.

c. Quality Assurance

The converted files underwent rigorous testing. It involved device compatibility tests on smartphones, tablets, and e-readers. Accessibility checks to meet global standards. User experience tests to ensure seamless navigation.

How We Solved Complex Challenges

The client has already faced a delay in the process of starting its venture. It wanted to attract businesses to help them manage their social media. At that time, the agency does not have dummy data for showcasing its plan to attract clients. Lacking a reliable source of dummy data meant wasting time creating placeholder content from scratch, which delayed project timelines and reduced operational efficiency. Hence, at AskDataEntry, we figured out the requirements for this project, which are;
