Creating EBOOKS and EPUBS from InDesign

Hello everyone that attended my ebook presentation at the InDesign Users Group in Melbourne.
As promised here are a bunch of resources that you may like. Firstly here is my Mikes Ebook slides.
If you want to try authoring in Adobe Buzzword, you should create an account on acrobat.com and Buzzword can export to both PDF and epub, however its quite basic. If you want to be able to publish for the Kindle store you may need to follow this pdf guide InDesign to Kindle and epub If you want to bust open a epub file and edit the goodies inside like the CSS then you could use this Adobe Air Application PDFXML inspector It will most certainly do the trick. If you are keen on reading your epubs and pdf files on the iPhone then you should try Stanza and you can send your files from one device to another very easily. You could also try i2reader I have not, but you may love it! it works much the same way as Stanza.

If you would like some more info on the Adobe Content Server for DRM or even Digital Editions you should check out these pages. there is also a link to the content server on there, but you will have to have more than a man look. As well as all this there is also an excellent video on the topic from last Octobers Max conference in LA. It goes on for while but if you really need to make these things then this will help you do it.

Oh and if you have any questions you should ask the two masked banditos from the www.thequestionroom.com and follow them on twitter @thequestionroom Then of course there was that video of the digital version of wired magazine. Thats truely awesome. Its on Adobe TV.

    Hi Mike,

    I attended your ebooks session in Melbourne on Wednesday, and as a publisher of (mostly) Children’s picture books, we are very excited by the prospect of the iPad. You showed us storybookanytime.com, which was pretty cool, I spoke to you afterwards and I mentioned a NZ company that is making a similar product for i-phone and now iPad, so I just thought I’d shoot you their information. http://www.kiwamedia.com/

    Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing your presentation on the iPad when it comes!

    Cheers
    Anna
