Hi,
I'm exploring how to make "picture books" in ID and export them as epubs. I say "picture books" as a generic term which could cover children's books, graphic novels, or any other publication that contains images that need to be in a certain order with or without text.
I've tried exporting a book that had a mix of text and images, and it quickly became a nightmare - even though I was anchoring images to text.
Now I'm going the easy way. No text, images only.
Each image is a page. Yes, it's a glorified pdf publication, but readable (this is the goal, anyway) on an ebook reader - Nook, Kindle, iPad, iPhone, etc.
The inDesign document is laid out on individual pages - NOT spreads. When I convert it to an epub doc, and open it on my Mac's epub reader, the pages show up two-abreast. That's NOT what I want it to look like. It is meant to be read a page at a time. It also will not page advance properly. I click on the page advance and it jumps several pages to the middle or the end.
Using Caliper, a free ap that, among other things, can view the epub, it shows up properly - one page at a time.
I'm plowing through Adobe tutorial videos to learn more about creating epubs - liquid layout, etc., but so far I've only made another problem. Now instead of scrolling through a page at a time, it scrolls to mid page! Any suggestions as to how to make it advance a full page at a time?
Thanks very much for suggestions and constructive comments.
