How Accessibility Features Kept a Nonfiction eBook on Budget in the USA

Background:

A nonfiction manuscript included charts, callouts, and complex formatting. The author was concerned that post-launch corrections could inflate the book publishing cost.

Challenge:

eBooks often require accessibility features such as alt text, heading structure, and TOC anchors. Omitting these leads to post-launch corrections and higher costs.

Solution:

Estorytellers included accessibility in the eBook conversion process. Alt text for all images, TOC anchors, and device QA checks were completed pre-launch.

Implementation:

• Reflowable eBook format selected for text-heavy content.

• Accessibility features mapped and QA passes conducted on multiple devices.

• Post-launch review confirmed zero errors.

Outcome:

Post-launch corrections were eliminated, keeping the project on budget. Accessibility improvements also enhanced reader experience and reduced support requests.

Key Takeaways:
Investing in accessibility during eBook conversion saves time and costs. Estorytellers ensures projects remain within average cost of publishing a book in USA projections while improving reader experience.
