Books in right-to-left (RTL) languages — Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi — and reverse-binding formats like manga need the correct reading direction so pages turn the right way.
What to set
- Language metadata must match the book's language so stores and apps apply RTL automatically.
- Reading/page-progression direction should be right-to-left for RTL text and reverse-bound books.
- Embed the right fonts for the script — see font errors.
Best path
Build the EPUB with the correct language and direction set from the start. If you are converting from a document, make sure the source is genuinely RTL (not LTR text forced visually), then verify in the preview that pages turn correctly.
Manga / comics
Reverse-binding comics are usually fixed-layout — see which stores accept fixed-layout EPUBs — and need image quality and page order checked carefully.
