  • Book Design Templates might also want to create one with a landscape photo beneath the chapter title. Good landscape photos are far easier to find than portrait ones. You can see what that looks like here:

    Where there’s a page break for a new chapter, placing a photo just after the title has a major advantage for digital books. It ensures there is no awkward page break when the picture appears in reflowable text. I usually make mine 4-inches wide, which works fine for a 6×9-inch book and fits well on tablets too. InDesign makes it easy to switch between B&W tiff files for print and color jpgs for digital. Just put the two in separate folders with identical names except for the suffix. I usually make the filename start with the chapter where it appears to make finding easy.

    Any chance premium membership might come with access to InDesign-only tutorials at Lynda.com? Their full package is marvelous, but I simply don’t have the time to benefit from it. I have to focus on ID only. Both IDS and Lynda would benefit.

  • Michael, thanks for the tips about images in ebooks. Getting access to InDesign-only vids on lynda.com as a premium here is definitely something we’ve thought about, but they’re not really set up that way. We’ll continue to investigate great benefits for our premium members, though. Email us at [email protected] with more suggestions!
