One last question for you: is the fixed-layout implemented by the publisher of the book or the reseller? In other words, would I have run into the same issues had I bought the book from another website? For the next books I'll use for study, I think I'll stick to paper versions unfortunately, this way I'll be certain to be able to take notes and mark pages as I wish. |

I believe the entire layout of the book is performed by the Publisher; the reseller is merely a conduit to get the book to you.

There are several bookstores who have that Hatchette book you bought from Kobo available as PDF - e.g. numilog and leslibraires. And there are numerous PDF viewers with extensive annotation capabilities that will run on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and IOS. Converting PDFs created by a professional with a word processor such as MS Word, LO Writer and Wordperfect to EPUB is not the nightmare of converting OCR scanned paper PDFs. It can be as simple opening the PDF in Word, saving as DOCX and converting that to EPUB with calibre. BR |
