This download is designed for Apple Books and Google Play Books. It will not open on Kindle but designing for Apple Books and Google means the booklet will still open on any smartphone or tablet on an app with a well known name. It is currently impossible to achieve this layout with any ebook creation software. Writing the EPUB directly with code allows a publication to take advantage of layouts and features inaccessible to software and is the best way to ensure it's future proof too.
