Ebook formatting in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for ebook formatting, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for ebook formatting. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional ebook formatting EBK-50 converts a 20,000-word, ten-chapter text manuscript with five footnotes into a reflowable EPUB and a navigation/test report. Sample chapter navigation is Chapter 1 through Chapter 10, with each footnote linked from its reference and back. A PDF replica is not sold as equivalent reflowable output. Copyediting, original illustration, retailer upload, distribution and a guarantee of every device's rendering are excluded.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Prepare semantic source | All ten chapters and five notes exist in the source before conversion. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Build flexible flow | Changing font size does not overlap or hide paragraphs. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Create navigation | Every contents entry reaches its chapter and every note returns to its original reference. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Set metadata and rights | Metadata does not contain a sample author or internal working title. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Validate and preview | Check all chapter starts and notes; record actual tested readers and unresolved warnings without claiming universal approval. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| Paragraphs overlap at larger type | Inspect fixed heights/positions and embedded layout styling. |
| Note has no route back | Check both link targets and unique IDs. |
| Chapter contents link wrong | Compare navigation IDs with chapter headings. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: ebook edition. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Check all chapter starts and notes; record actual tested readers and unresolved warnings without claiming universal approval.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Check all chapter starts and notes; record actual tested readers and unresolved warnings without claiming universal approval. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
