How Gujarati is written
Gujarati is spoken in Gujarat, India, and the Gujarati diaspora.
The Gujarati script is close to Devanagari but has no headline, the bar along the top of the letters. Older Gujarati typesetting files made with legacy fonts need converting to Unicode first.
What to upload
•
EPUB, DOCX, TXT, HTML, RTF, MOBI, AZW3 or FB2 with real Gujarati text, up to 10 MB and DRM-free.
•
PDFs need a text layer: a scan of printed pages without one has no text to read. Try selecting a line of Gujarati in the PDF: if you can copy it, there is text to read.
•
Keep the text as Unicode, as modern ebooks and word processors save it.
•
No file? Paste a link to a web article and it becomes a book too.
