What's It Mean?
///////////////////////////////
Notch/Notching (may be used in perfect binding): Parallel grooves cut into the spine perpendicular to the binding edge. The depth and the distance between the grooves can be adjusted to suit the size and weight of the text block. Notching (vs. not notching) increases the amount of surface area on the spine that comes in contact with the adhesive and increases the strength of some type bindings.

Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
Publishing an electronic book conjures visions of needing dedicated e-readers such as Kindle and iPad to access. While this may be the current popular way to access an e-book, how you choose to format and sell it can allow for a variety of electronic platform access - from desktop and laptop computers to Smart phones and Tablets. File (manuscript) preparation can allow readers to access your electronic book on anything, just one dedicated reader, or anything in between.
