Compare the Difference
DIY File Checking vs. Publishing Support Experts
A quick visual check is not the same as a structured publishing file review. This comparison shows where authors often miss technical problems.
| Feature | DIY / Competitor | Publishing Support Experts |
|---|---|---|
| Interior Layout Review | Often limited to visual scrolling. | Margins, spacing, page breaks, and layout consistency reviewed. |
| Image Quality Check | Low-resolution images may be missed. | DPI, placement, scaling, and print risks reviewed. |
| EPUB Navigation | Broken links often appear after upload. | TOC, chapter order, navigation, and compatibility checked. |
| Cover File Review | Spine, bleed, or template mismatch can be overlooked. | Cover sizing, bleed area, spine logic, and export risks reviewed. |
| Readiness Report | Unclear next steps after issues appear. | Clear review notes, priority risks, and recommended next steps. |
