Yesterday I spoke to someone who´s wife was a "real" author and had her books published (online and in print) by a "real" publisher. He recomended Indesign by Adobe. I am at the moment trying it out. He was NOT too keen on PDF because the finish product looked so much better with Indesign.
But here is the dilemma:
- PDF can be published quite simple. You create a word or openoffice document.(Remember that some feel Openoffice is far better at transferring hyperlinks and pictures then Word.) Then you make a save-as PDF.
- The finish product (if as in "How to Write and Publish your own eBook") looks ok - I think close to a "real" book. I didn´t feel or think "what a rip-off". But I did see his wifes ebook in Indesign and it is at least 5 steps above the PDFs and he said that on that IPod or Android all spacing would be lost in PDF but not in Indesign. So ...
- then you have to send your "product" somewhere.( Amazon or ???). I honestly don´t know where to go IF I want to have the "right" place to go.
Which has left me at "Square- one" again. I am more educated but any wiser.

Plan on using Sigil or studying Liz Castro's EPub Straight to the Point book if you want to make EPUBs using Indesign 5.0. |
