EPUB Books and Documents

Overview

The EPUB Books and Documents tools allow you to view and maintain the EPUBs that are registered into your Azardi:Content Fulfilment (ACF) account and  create various products. One EPUB can be used to make multiple commercial products. In this section we use an EPUB to create a Purchase Product and a Subscription Product.
