Bookbndr
by Orpheus Technology Limited
Convert your Word manuscript into a polished, ready-to-publish EPUB and print PDF.
Bookbndr turns the manuscript you already wrote in Word into a beautifully designed, ready-to-publish book — without exporting to another app or learning desktop publishing software.
Open the task pane, pick a theme, and Bookbndr lays out your title page, copyright page, table of contents, chapters, and back matter the way a professional book designer would. Everything happens beside your document, so your Word file stays the single source of truth.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Export a valid EPUB 3 e-book ready for Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and every major retailer.
• Generate a print-ready PDF with your chosen trim size, margins, running heads, and page numbers.
• Choose from professionally designed themes, then fine-tune fonts, sizes, and spacing.
• Detect chapters automatically from your Word headings, and mark parts, prologues, and epilogues.
• Add front and back matter — title page, copyright page, dedication, acknowledgements, about-the-author, and custom sections.
• Style chapter openers with drop caps and decorative scene-break dividers.
• Format verse and block quotes, control widows and orphans, and apply smart punctuation and typography.
• Handle footnotes, endnotes, and an index.
• Preview your book on phone, tablet, and e-reader screens before you publish.
• Run a preflight check that flags formatting problems before export.
• Save a theme once and reuse it across every book you write.
WHO IT'S FOR
Bookbndr is built for novelists, non-fiction authors, and independent publishers who want a professional result without hiring a designer or wrestling with complex layout tools. If you can write in Word, you can produce a publishable book.
