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.
