To compete with traditionally published books, it is important for self-publishers to make sure their books look professional, inside and out. Not to be confused with reading level, readability refers to formatting books in ways that are conducive to reading. Readability is the ease with which a book can be read. That’s because, ultimately, readers care about readability. A well-formatted manuscript is vital for publishing success.
Poor formatting, interior design, and typesetting will cause them to set it back down-costing you a sale. Good covers get readers to pluck your book off the shelf and thumb through it.
