About Ebookifi — Converting Books Since 2008
Ebookifi started in 2008, when Kindle was still in its second year and most authors had never heard the word ePub. The idea was simple: authors deserved a conversion service that treated their manuscripts with the same care they had put into writing them. Eighteen years later, that has not changed.

What "Hand-Coded" Actually Means
Hand-coded means a person — not a program — opens your manuscript and builds your eBook file in HTML and CSS from the ground up. No Calibre. No automated export from Sigil. No conversion software of any kind.
This takes longer than automation. It also produces a file that is smaller, cleaner, and more reliable across devices. A typical hand-coded Kindle file from a 300-page manuscript runs 800KB to 1.2MB. The same manuscript run through an automated converter often comes back two to three times that size, full of redundant code the Kindle hardware has to process but never uses.
More importantly, hand-coded files pass platform validation. Kindle Previewer, EPUBCheck, and Apple Books’ own checks all flag files with poorly structured code. Files built by automation tools fail these checks at a rate that hand-coded files simply do not. That is why authors who have been through a bad conversion elsewhere bring their manuscripts here.

❌ EPUBCheck errors
❌ No source files returned

0.9% refund rate
Across eighteen years of operation. We track it because it tells us whether we are doing the job properly — and we fix files before we refund them.
The Manuscripts We Handle
If another service turned your manuscript away, or delivered a file with errors they could not explain — bring it to us. This is where we do our most careful work.
Our Clients
We have worked with independent authors, small literary presses, academic publishers, religious publishing houses, legal publishers, government agencies, literary estates, and university press imprints.
The work ranges from a debut novelist’s first manuscript to a publisher’s backlist of two hundred titles requiring digital conversion. In over thirty countries. Across eighteen years. With a refund rate that has stayed below one percent for as long as we have been tracking it.
The clients who stay with us longest are the ones who found us after a bad experience elsewhere. Once they see what a hand-coded file looks like in Kindle Previewer — clean, consistent, exactly what their manuscript is supposed to look like — they do not go back.
