Kitaboo Reader supports three types of eBooks, each offering different configurations for enabling the Print feature. This article explains how print functionality can be managed for each eBook type.

 Supported eBook Types

Kitaboo supports the following eBook formats:

1. KITABOO Fixed eBook
2. Fixed ePub
3. Reflowable ePub

1.KITABOO eBooks

Print Configuration

• Print permissions are defined server-side during the enrichment process.
• The publisher can specify which pages should have the print icon enabled or disabled.

2.Fixed ePub

Print Configuration

• Print permissions are configured server-side using a metadata sheet.
• The metadata will reflect in the category service response as:

  "Enableprint: 2,8,9"
  

• This means pages 2, 8, and 9 will have print enabled.
• The publisher decides which pages to allow printing for.

3.Reflowable ePub

Print Configuration

• Configured using metadata provided to the server.
• The metadata appears in the category service response as:

  "Enableprint_reflow: True" or "Enableprint_reflow: False"
  

  • True enables printing for the entire book.
  • False disables printing entirely.

Chapter-Level Printing (for reflow epub only)

• To enable printing for specific xhtml/html/htm chapters, use:

  "Enableprint_reflow: Ch01.xhtml,authors.xhtml,Ch05.xhtml"
  

  • This allows printing only for the specified chapters file.
