At first glance, a static layout seems to be the best solution to implement your own design ideas in terms of implementing text and multimedia content across multiple devices. If a printed version already exists, it’s tempting to try to replicate the existing format with the e-book. However, the danger of this is that only a small amount of readers will be able see your book as intended. This is because a static e-book layout is comparable to a website with precisely defined dimensions. In addition, while the view may be optimal for some screen sizes, problems occur on bigger screens where the page shows up too small, or on mobile devices when it appears too big, making user-friendly navigation impossible.
For an optimal layout on different-sized displays, you should use e-book templates with reflowable layouts as they can adapt to many different screen sizes and you can also see how your book will ultimately look on individual devices.
In order to implement a flexible layout, you need a suitable e-book format and taking a look at these useful design tips will also help.
