Front matter for eBooks

Cesar561

When you are creating an eBook, the front matter is the information that comes before the actual content of the book. This can include the title page, copyright information, table of contents, and any other introductory material.

Front matter is generally the stuff that comes before the first chapter of your book. This can include a foreword, preface, or introduction; it might also include things like a dedication, acknowledgments, or credits. In a nonfiction book, the front matter might also include a table of contents, a glossary, or an index. For an eBook, front matter might also include links to websites or other resources that are mentioned in the book.

In a traditional book, the front matter is everything before the first chapter. This usually consists of a title page, a copyright page, and perhaps a table of contents, acknowledgements, and/or a preface.

In an eBook, the front matter can also include all of these things, but often doesn't. The title page and copyright page are usually included, but the table of contents, acknowledgements, and preface are often left out. This is because an eBook can have an interactive table of contents that is easy to naviagte, and because the acknowledgements and preface can often be found on the author's website or blog.
