Adobe InDesign CS4

I'm sorry for my long silence over the last month or so. Life has been really full, with lots of great projects. I am also in the process of writing a book about formatting for the Kindle... more on that later.

I just wanted to point you all to a great little post at Bill McCoy's blog about Adobe InDesign CS4. This latest edition of the popular book layout program supports exporting directly to the ePub format directly. This is a HUGE step for the eBook industry, and one that I applaud with all of my strength. The more the traditional publishing industry grabs hold of the eBook market, the more we will see the eBooks become as common in households as digital music.

At first I tried to format my Kindle book myself. I spent hours on it and still had a lot of annoying glitches, including an intractable problem with the margins. Joshua contacted me and reformatted the entire book in short order. He added some nice touches, like hyperlinks to each of the chapters, and cleaned up all the problems. And he did it promptly, accurately, inexpensively, and professionally.

I would highly recommend his services to any new Kindle author. You'll save yourself hours and many headaches. And the result will be much better than what you could do yourself.
