Custom ePub Design and Multi-Platform Extraction
Custom eBook Design
Summary
We worked with the client to develop a complex, media-rich eBook format. The project required separating multiple stories per page and linking them to specific coordinate values via Replica Map XML. Through the development of an in-house extraction tool, Patel G Tech now delivers these complex files with a one-hour turnaround time.

Project Background & Requirements
The client sought an engaging eBook design that differed significantly from standard formats.
- Rich Media Integration: Embed images, interactivity, annotations, and continuation links.
