Price based off $40 for all four ebooks on the Kickstarter. Cover and interior artist per copyright page and title page Date per release date of ebook version to backers. Copyright page states "First Edition: July 2023". "Acknowledgements" are on pp. xi-xiv. "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" half-title page would be on p.xv (page following the Acknowledgements), though it is unnumbered. The text of the story starts on p.3, and the unnumbered section title page labeled "Part One" would be p.1. Full-color images are on pages 32.1-32.2 ("Thirty-Seven Spirits", a two-page spread), 208.1-208.2 ("Learning to Paint", two-page spread), 272.1-272.2 ("Backlit by Wonder", two-page spread), and 464.1-464.2 ("Contest", two-page spread).

The PDF ebook does not contain the cover variant illustrations found in the hardcover. The ornament at the beginning of each chapter is different. These are grouped under a generic, un-paged "interior art" entry below. The page numbers alternate between blue and magenta each chapter. The front and back endpapers are black and white sumie-style paintings. The front endpaper features bamboo with a dark circle (read the book to find out what it is) that looks like a stylized sun. The back endpaper features Yumi sitting in a crooked flowering tree with the sun in the background. An untitled "about the contributors" is on unnumbered page 480 and contains brief biographies of Sanderson and Chen.
