METHOD & EVIDENCE

How epubio checks a book — and where it deliberately stops.

Technical quality is more than a green symbol. This page explains the checks behind each result, the standards used and the external requirements that remain authoritative.

Method maintained by epubioCurrent as of 20 August 2026

Traceable rather than mysterious

epubio does not wait for the final export. DOCX structure and chapters are made visible during import; book details, cover, design and edition requirements are reviewed before EPUB and print.

Generated EPUB files are technically validated with EPUBCheck. Print preparation uses the selected book state and print profile; the printer's final specification remains authoritative.

01 · IMPORT

Import DOCX with control

Headings, chapters and unusual structures are shown before import. The original file remains unchanged.

02 · EPUB

Validate the file

The generated EPUB is checked with EPUBCheck. Relevant findings are translated into a reason and next action.

03 · PRINT

Connect interior and cover

Format, extent, paper, spine and cover are treated as one print edition. Provider values must be confirmed.

04 · RELEASETWIN

Understand the effect of changes

When manuscript, cover, metadata or print profile changes, affected editions and approvals are marked.
