-
Conformance
Runs your EPUB through epubcheck, the canonical EPUB validator, and lists every fatal error, error and warning.
-
Accessibility
Audits against the DAISY Ace accessibility checks and the EPUB Accessibility 1.1 metadata the European Accessibility Act requires.
-
Qualebook checklist
Cross-references both reports against the Qualebook production checklist, flagging what passes, what needs attention, and what to review by hand.
What the Book Quality Checker does
A title is ready to publish when it passes three sets of checks. This free quality audit runs epubcheck for technical conformance and Ace by DAISY for accessibility, then cross-references both against the Qualebook production checklist, an 88-rule framework used across the publishing industry. You upload one file and get one report that says clearly whether the title is ready to distribute.
Instead of reading three separate tool outputs, you get a single list of what passes, what needs attention, and what a person should review by hand — grouped the way a production team actually works through a file.
It is free and private, one book at a time. It is the same battery of checks publica.la runs across an entire catalogue, distilled into one self-serve report.
When to use it
- A final pre-distribution gate that covers conformance and accessibility at once.
- Onboarding files from a new supplier or converting a backlist.
- Deciding whether a title is ready or needs another production pass.
- Aligning a team around one shared production standard.
