Converting manuscripts to the most popular eBook formats.

Making your book available in all digital and print formats is an effective marketing strategy. We help you convert your print files to the most popular eBook formats.

We focus on the details of eBook production by going through a thorough quality check after the base conversion, testing your requested file formats on the most frequently used devices.

Kindle Mobi Conversion Services

Kindle Mobi Conversion Services

We will help you to decide which is the right Kindle format to convert to based on your overall goal for the digital availability of your book.  We convert the EPUB to the MOBI format for additional quality checks prior to sending the file back to you. The MOBI file is tested on all Kindle devices before you receive it.

ePUB Conversion

ePUB Conversion

As ePUB is an open source file format, it is very important to format the file in such a way that it works seamlessly on all platforms. Send us your book so we can decide which is the right file format (epub2, epub3, children’s graphic books) for your manuscript. We offer fast and affordable ePUB conversion services.

Fixed Layout

Fixed Layout

For files that are very heavy on graphics, formatting is important to maintain the layout. When this is the case, we recommend fixed layout formats. For example, Children graphic books would need to use Fixed Layout.

Distribution & Fulfillment

Timely and cost effective solutions required in today’s marketplace.

The world of online book sales can be very overwhelming. Color House Graphics and our sister company, JPL Fulfillment, offers a variety of distribution and fulfillment services. Whether it’s one book shipped direct to a customer or bulk shipments to wholesalers and retailers, we have you covered. JPL Fulfillment was established to provide publishers and authors access to most of the major book retailers and wholesalers, both online and brick-and-mortar.

JPL is able to offer virtual in-warehouse print services, which are used as either Print-On-Demand or short-run inventory replenishment.  Some publishers prefer to delegate all or most print inventory management responsibilities to their distribution partner. CHG provides the full book manufacturing capabilities that meet timely and cost effective solutions required in today’s need-it-now consumer marketplace.

JPL Fulfillment also accepts customer supplied print inventory, whether or not they utilize CHG’s print services.  As added incentive, inventory in/out charges are waived when the books come from one or our manufacturing facilities.
