Hi All, I had a quick scan of the threads and couldn't see a sticky on this topic
i've created a a google doc version of my book
I intend to print physically at a5, either POD or small batch to test the market

the printer i was considering provided a5 doc template with recommended borders etc

i've formated the doc as i see how it should read

throughout the book i have used 3 emojis as 💓👀✋to indicate a particular stop and read this section , these are key to the structure of the guide book

when i download it from google docs as a draft test for as pdf and epub it doesnt render it in the same way as formatted and suddenly content pages as split across pages etc.in epub format when viewed on my andoid phone the page breaks etc are all over the shot, the emojis are not present and the 4 jpeg images not included

the book features 4 flow chart illustrations, is it best for them to be in jpeg format ?

if there a specific app that will help me resolve such formatting issues so that one generic doc is created that will work on all kindles, ebook readers, phone etc ?

any helpful links greatfully recieved
