Writing In InDesign CC 2014 Producing Books

This archive lets you compare the PDF, fixed layout ePUB, and reflowable ePUB. There's a lot of differences and they all have benefits—depending on the distributor and the ereader used.

This is a major update for me. Many of the changes I've been waiting for with ePUB production have been implemented. InDesign now stands at the top of the heap for book production in general and ePUB production in particular. You do not need to know code, though understanding how HTML and CSS works will aid your conceptual understanding.

I was lukewarm about FXL until I realized that the new fixed layout ePUBs would show gradient paragraph rules, gradient strokes and fills in tables, and much more. The exported ePUBs upload flawlessly to the iBooks Store and Kobo Writing Life.
