Comments eBook production staff at companies of all sizes are using Adobe InDesign CS5 to create EPUB files for long-form publications that require reflowable text. While EPUB files can be read on a variety of e-reading devices (including e-ink readers, PC/Mac, and smartphones), there’s clear excitement around tablet devices like the iPad. For those specifically interested in reading EPUB files on the iPad or distributing EPUB documents to the iBookstore, check out our new white paper “eBooks: From Adobe InDesign to the Apple iBookstore.” The guide overviews helpful tips for setting up an InDesign document in preparation for export to the EPUB format and details how to transfer the resulting EPUB file for reading on the iPad. For publishers wishing to monetize their content, the white paper also reviews best practices in preparing EPUB content for sale in the iBookstore.
Download the white paper - eBooks: From Adobe InDesign to the Apple iBookstore (PDF: 2.5MB)
Additionally, join us for our Ask a CS Pro session on Friday, Oct. 29th, at 12pm PDT with community expert Anne-Marie Concepcion. In this session you’ll have a chance to dive into the contents of the whitepaper, including how to export your InDesign document to EPUB, add the EPUB file to the iBooks app on your iPad for previewing and testing, and sell your EPUB publication on the iBookstore.

Hello, the link to the PDF its broken, it doesn`t works, please fix it!
Thanks
Hi – it doesn’t seem to be broken. You can download the white paper at http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/pdfs/indesign-to-ipad.pdf
I’m sorry, but the link is broken. If I search for it in Google, I can read it in Google Docs, but I can’t print it or download it. If you’re revising it, then you should leave a note up to that effect.
Hi Doug. Thanks for this; it looks like something is going on with the link. You can access the PDF at: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/indesign/pdfs/indesign-to-ipad.pdf. Also, more PDFs and tools are available if you scroll down on this page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing.html. Thanks for reaching out to us, we’ll work on getting this taken care of!

Does it include how to fix the broken epub Table of Contents from CS5, which has yet to be fixed in the over half a year since release?
