8/21/2023 0 Comments Nook or kindle for kids![]() One thing to bear in mind is: if you've made a very, very large children's book, the final product will most likely be seen on a traditional e-reader screen, which is 4¾" long and 3½ wide (held in landscape mode). Two examples of books made as reflowable ePUBs or MOBI's are shown below "Sharon and Eleanor's Escape" by Connie Pontius (Geese image) and "Emerald Green Runner" by Andrew Kay and Romy Dingle (on iBooks, with a tree in the image). A MOBI file made this way will work on all Amazon devices. An ePUB made this way, in other words, works for iBooks, Nook, Sony, and virtually every other ePUB-reading device. While this can mean that images and text may become separated while someone is reading the book, it is significantly less expensive and has the added advantage of portability. Are There Alternatives?Īn alternative to this approach, if you have simple images with text on opposing pages, is to create a reflowable ePUB and MOBI format (please see our basic formats article here on the Knowledgebase: What Are the Main eBook Formats? if you don't know which formats work on which devices). We at have extensive experience in making these types of Kids' books in fixed-format, including books with embedded video, audio, and even animation, the latter on the iBooks platform only (and to a lesser extent, the NookKids' platform) audio is only available to self-publishers for iBooks and Nook at this time. ![]() And a Nook Fixed-Format book can't be read on anything but a NookColor tablet, in the special NookKids' platform. An Amazon MOBI made this way only works on those devices that have "K8" formatting-basically, the Kindle Fire Tablet and certain Droid Tablets.Īnd, warning: to publish a NookKids' book, you have to be approved as a NookKids' publisher, by Barnes & Noble, or use an Aggregator/Distributor that is already approved. An Apple Fixed-format book for iBooks can't be read on a Nook. What this means is that if you have a company make a Kindle Fixed-format Kids' book, it can't be read on any other e-reading device. For more samples of ebooks for children that we've converted, please see visit the Kids Book Showcase. For more pricing information, please see our Fixed-Format eBook Pricing page. The downside is that they a) are extremely expensive, and, b) are limited to use on the platform for which they are created. Now, the upside is that these books will look exactly, or "as exactly as possible" like the original print layout. One is from "The Big Galoot," by Shadoe Stevens, on the iBooks application (Apple) the lovely pen-and-ink "Fox and the Fawn" is shown on a Kindle Fire device, with pop-up text boxes (also called, "region magnification," but "pop-up text" just sounds cooler!) ![]() Below are two examples of fixed-format books. "Fixed fomat" books are ebooks that can display two-page spreads, or pages of illustrations that have text on top of the illustrations.
