Publishers, designers, writers, and production staff: Learn how to use the software you already use to create print books—Adobe InDesign CC—to create ebooks. Start here with the fundamentals. Anne-Marie Concepción takes a close look at EPUB, the standard format for ebooks, and shows you how to set up and work with InDesign to create, edit, and export them. Learn what's hidden inside an EPUB, what the EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 standards mean for you, and how InDesign can be the fastest road to an EPUB, with its ability to automatically convert your files into the necessary HTML and CSS. You'll also discover how to optimize text, graphics, tables, and videos in your existing layouts, and tailor your EPUBs specifically for the Kindle, Kobo, and Nook ereaders. Anne-Marie also reviews the ebook features exclusive to InDesign CC, such as object style mapping, pop-up footnotes, Typekit integration, and linked indexes.
