It is standard practice that most text-heavy, single column format ebooks are in reflowable layout, which ends up on ebook readers either in Mobi ( Amazon Kindle) or EPUB form.
Large screens would result in less number of pages than smaller screens. The number of pages in a reflowable layout ebook is dynamic – it depends on how many it would take to fit the same content on the current screen size. This just makes for a more friendly ebook. Another importance is that the reader can change the size of the text which makes readability easier on smaller screens and for most readers with minor visual impairments.Īs the content renders itself to whatever screen dimensions, there is, in effect, “less thought” needed by the reader in terms of scrolling as they only ever need to scroll vertically, making the activity as natural and thoughtless as turning a page on a printed book. Also, when users switch between portrait and landscape views, the content would rearrange itself to optimize readability for the new dimensions.
Basically, this layout treats the content as floating text and images, then arranges them according to the screen size. Reflowable layout is the go-to ebook format for publications.
It all depends on what you’re creating and who you’re creating it for.
