Formats
Through digital and print-on-demand (POD) technology, we can offer our authors these distinct formats for their books.
Print Formats
All manuscripts submitted to iUniverse are formatted as trade paperbacks and printed on high-quality, acid-free, book-grade opaque paper stock.
Our paperback books are formatted as trade paperbacks featuring better production quality, a larger size, and a higher retail price than a mass-market paperback format. Paperback formatting is standard with all of our publishing packages.
Our hardcover books feature a durable cloth binding, an embossed spine, and a full-color dust jacket that allows room for descriptive copy about your book and your author biography on its inside flaps. Hardcover formatting is included in the pricing of our Bookstore Premier Pro and the Premier Pro package and is available as an add-on feature in our Premier and Select packages.
Electronic Formats
An electronic version of your book can be downloaded and read on a computer, reader, or handheld PDA.
An eBook is a completely electronic version of a book that can be downloaded to a single computer. Digital eBook formatting is included in the pricing of our Premier Pro, Premier, Select, Express, and Poetry packages.
Amazon Kindle and Sony® Reader are wireless, portable reading devices that provide increased marketability and access to thousands of books, blogs, newspapers and magazines, and other Web content.
