Questions
Why separate print and ebook files?
Print has fixed pages and margins. Ebooks reflow to any screen.
Can I make changes after formatting?
Small changes are fine. Large ones cost layout time, so finish editing first.
Do I get the source files?
You receive the final files listed in your quote.
