Creating an eBook - one of many approaches (we will cover some simpler approaches - but this is the more FORMAL approach - so it is more involved)

2:30: Andreas deDanaan on developing ebooks with InDesign! http://experts.adobeconnect.com/p17mwa1zpph

on this recording you have to scroll up to about 1 and 1/2 hours - to get to the eBooks presentation. I think it is worth it.

Exporting to ePub (pdf) http://neaug.org/images/stories/pdf/deDanaanDesign_ExportingToEPUB.pdf

The eBook has seen skyrocketing consumer sales recently. Although the ePUB format has been around for years, it hasn’t gotten much attention until recently, and now that attention is intense. If you want to self-publish or do some marketing with content that you own, the ePUB is a great format to publish in.

Andreas deDanaan will present the nutshell version of creating eBooks with Adobe InDesign. InDesign is the industry standard for traditional printed-book design and production. It has some excellent features for exporting a book design to the ePUB format, but the resulting file may leave you quite unsatisfied. Controlling this ePUB export and cleaning it up for public consumption can be quite a challenge. If your intent is to sell on Amazon, Apple’s iBookstore, or Barnes & Noble, you’ll have to create an ePUB or MOBI file that validates to the ePUB standard and hopefully has some typographic polish to it.

Whether you have an existing book that you need to convert or content that you would like to publish directly to ePUB, this talk is for you. Andreas will discuss strategies involving both Adobe InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 and even Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. Inexpensive or free software resources are available to help with the editing of ePUB files after export, and these will be touched on as well. Put your HTML/CSS hat on if you have one; the ePUB is built on these markup languages plus XML. You’ll see a little bit of code in this presentation.

Andreas has designed and produced traditional print books for 15 years. He has worked for a number of publishers in the San Francisco Bay Area including Peachpit Press, Weldon Owen, Inc., and Lonely Planet Publishing among others. He has recently converted books for local publishers including Bauhan Publishing.

Andreas is currently a Web Designer and Developer for New Chapter, Inc and is completing a degree in Internet technologies at Marlboro College Graduate School. He can be contacted at andreas@deDanaanDesign.com. His Web site is www.deDanaanDesign.com.
