Hi
I would like to know if Indesign CS 5.5 is still a good tool for producing Epub format? (I use it mainly for designing for prepress.)
I am talking about a textual book with some photos. nothing fancy – no sound or video.
Should I use it or is it out of date in the field of Digital books?
Thanks
Rami
Hey Rami,
I guess it depends, are you doing this for yourself or do you plan on marketing it? CS 5.5 wasn’t bad, I think it had an issue where it inserted an extra space in the DTD line in the xhtml files on export which caused an issue with ePubCheck validation, hopefully they fixed that by now. I believe it only exports EPUB 2.0 files, which might cause issues if apps stop recognizing the toc.ncx file, then you might have to convert it to the EPUB3 spec to work.
