In this video, I have described the difference between Reflowable Text and Fixed Layout or Print Replica formats of ebooks. Most of the first time authors have issues while publishing their books on online platform, this video will give them a better idea about reflowable and fixed layout ebook formats.
The primary difference between fixed layout and reflowable text eBooks lies in how the content is displayed on various devices and screen sizes:

1. Fixed Layout eBook
Content is precisely arranged: The layout, including text, images, and design elements, is fixed in a specific format, similar to how a printed page would look.
No reflowing: The content doesn't adjust or resize based on the screen size or device. The elements (text, images, etc.) remain in their pre-designed positions.
Best for visually complex content: Fixed layout is ideal for books where design is essential, such as children's picture books, comics, graphic novels, or textbooks with intricate layouts.
Readability issues on small screens: Since the layout is static, smaller screens or devices with varying screen sizes may make it harder to read or navigate.
File formats: Common in formats like EPUB3 (with fixed layouts) and PDF.
2. Reflowable Text eBook
Flexible content layout: The text and images automatically adjust to fit the screen size or user’s preferences, such as font size or line spacing.
Dynamic reflow: When the user changes the screen size or zooms in or out, the content "reflows" to ensure readability.
Best for text-heavy content: Reflowable layouts work well for novels, non-fiction, and other text-based eBooks, where the design is secondary to the content.
Optimized for various devices: This format works well across different screen sizes (from smartphones to e-readers to tablets), providing a more customizable reading experience.
File formats: Most commonly used with EPUB (reflowable) and MOBI.
Summary:
Fixed Layout: Content stays in a specific layout, ideal for design-heavy or illustrated books.
Reflowable Text: Content adapts to the screen and user preferences, best for text-heavy books.
