Do epub

Should what format I use to make an ePub?

Thank you

Hi Twytybrd

Welcome to the forum.

ePub is one of e-book formats. It's open source and there are basically two types - fixed layout and layout text recomposable (the Kindle uses a version of decorum called mobi). The latest version of ePub is ePub 3, which is based on HTML5 and CSS3.

You can create two types of ePub using the latest version of InDesign (2014 CC). But you will probably need training to do. If you know InDesign and how to use paragraph and character styles and anchor images, you part out there.

Lynda.com had excellent tutorials online on the production of fixed files and variables EPUB from InDesign, for example:

  • Download Books epub synched in iBooks

    I love being able to sync my own books packed with iBooks epub, I can easily share my books between my multiple devices.  I create books epub for the things that I'm referencing or past newspapers and want them on multiple devices, so this works great.  I used to keep my icloud, yes I know that these two used my iCloud storage space and I then have to transfer iBooks to open it.  It is wonderful to be able to have everything in iBooks and sorted.  The problem is then how I then down the file on my computer to be updated no later than the time when necessary.  I checked my iCloud drive on my Mac and there is not a folder iBooks and iBooks do not have an export or save option.

    Is it possible to do this easily?

    Drag the iBooks file in your mac to a folder, and it will create a copy of your book. Delete it all, update the epub and add it back to ibooks

  • Police embedded in the epub file.

    Hi, I write novels using normal pages that was shipped with my imac and upload to Amazon KDP using epub. I just found out that my readers are unable to change the font size on their e-reader when I do that. I box unchecked the 'Embed police' in the drop down menu when the file is exported to epub and resubmitted, but appears not to have worked. Anyone had this experience? What is the solution? Thank you very much.

    Also ask in the forums from amazon if you have not already.

  • How do I transfer files book Epub on USB to iPad?

    I have a macbook pro 2009 - worm 10.10.5 Yosemite

    I used the Calibre to the mobi format Epub ebook for use on the iPad 9.3.5

    Read the previous solutions on this kind of transfer much suggested by e-mail to those files yourself.

    That's fine we have internet, but my life situation is such that I have no internet available for long periods of time. A little history - files initially where stored on a flashdrive and then are converted from mobi files to Epub files

    My questions

    I would like to transfer these Epub files to my iPad.

    This transfer happens with using the internet?

    The iPad is not the drive suitable for use for this format?

    Is there another way to use these files?

    There are a number of iPad apps that support the epub for example the integrated iBooks app books supports the. To get them to iBooks, add them to iBooks on your Mac (file > add to library) and if you connect your iPad to your Mac and select in iTunes on your Mac, they should show on the tab 'books' selection and timing to the iBooks application for the iPad – which requires no internet connection

    If you want another book app on your iPad, how bring you to it will depend on what the application supports for example file sharing in iTunes (on the sharing of files on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support).

    Hi Greg,.

    According to this article from MacWorld, Pages has exported to EPUB 3 since version 5.2, published some time in 2014. The article covers several other aspects of EPUB via Pages, some positive results, some not and some that do not apply to the current version.

  • EPub with Apple Pages centering images

    I use Apple Pages to create an eBook (I know I could have used InDesign, I'll use it for the next!). All the text is there, I used topics, and I am very satisfied with the result. However... When I export to ePub, the images are not centered. They are focused on the use of PDF. Take a look at my settings of the image pages to the following screenshot:

    The image (this is an example, but all 150 images in this way) is aligned to the Center by using the "Align" function you can see to the right, but when I select 'Center', it does not move (because it is already in the Center), and displays Align. I don't know if it's good or bad.

    As you can see, the image is aligned to the right when I export the ePub book and open it with Mac iBook. This is exactly the same on my iPad / iPhone. The image fell thus: look at the difference between the pictures shown in the screenshots that I added in this message.

    I'm running out of ideas and I hope you can help me.

    This is my first post on the Apple support forum, so please tell me if I could have explained something more accurately! :-)

    Thank you!

    Well, it's not too late to redo it in InDesign. The following has been done in v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.6 Pages.

    I inserted and centred on an image in v5.6.2 Pages with above and below the text. The result when you export to PDF showed the image centered in overview and Acrobat Reader. When exporting Pages to ePub3, the image was right-justified in iBooks and saw that centered in Sigil 0.96 and Calibre 2.63.0.

    I decided to see if I could fool iBooks. With the help of Sigil, I added changes in style of book.css and referenced in the chapter file - 1.xhtml. Here, I'm telling you the div containing the image to use 70% of the width of the ePub with 15% margins on each side, apply 1em margin top and bottom margin of manoeuvre. Because the image is inside the div, I'm ordering him to use 100% of the container.

    After that I saved these changes in Sigil. The ePub open in iBooks with the centered image designated.

    I don't think you can fix this issue within Pages centering v5.6.2 image.

  • After completing TUEBL why Firefox saves a huge file of 3 GB in profiles called epub with 50000 + files?

    I found the program Mozbackup always took to back up Firefox, and the compressed backup .pcv file that results has been HUGE - gigabytes. Then I checked my Firefox profile and found that he had stored this huge epub file. Often, I download books from TUEBL but don't see absolutely no use storing one of these in the Firefox profile. This problem is the same in my little Toshiba Netbook, except that the epub file was larger than 4 GB. In computers, I sent the fiolder epub to the trash, and Firefox and Mozbackup now work correctly. If the problem persists OK, I'll permanently delete these epub files.

    I think that there must be the extension. The manual says:

    When you open a file with EPUBReader ePub, ePub file is downloaded and stored in your Firefox profile folder. By clicking on the button Save, you have the possibility to store the ePub file to a location of your choice.

    http://www.epubread.com/en/manual.php#navigation

    Maybe he has a hidden parameter of moving its folder default to, say, Documents? Maybe this feature can be added? There is a link to contact at the bottom of this page to submit questions that are not answered on the site.

  • Since Firefox updated, it won't open my EPUB files more. What's wrong?

    Whenever I click on my digital books in the .epub format, I get a dialog box asking me what program I want to use to open the file, or if I want to save. When I have Firefox to open the file, Firefox is to open another tab with another dialogue box and the process simply repeats and repeats and repeats. Firefox gets the EPUB reader?

    I don't think there's a way to be sure of that without prior testing.  For Kindle, for example, you need convert their own epub format.  You can see the Kindle forums to see if others have commented on the problems they faced.

  • Convert ePub pages

    When I convert Pages in epub format there is a serious problem.

    the ePub files do not have page numbers. (as we know)

    Pages ePub adds page numbers in the Table of contents, which is not accepted by Smashwords (or any other epub I know)

    I have added and deleted topics in vain.

    I added the Table of contents. The results are catastrophic and unacceptable to the Smashwords catalog.

    Can Apple fix this?

    Smahswords my page .doc in epub conversion results of catastrophic new. Table of contents are scattered throughout the file!

    Is it possible that I can do this successfully (at the professional level?) Thanks for any help and to save my gray from hair.

    You are using v4.3 Pages ' 09, or v5.6.2 Pages to translate and export the Word (.doc) and ePub documents?

    Have you read the free Smashwords Guide of Style (Smashwords iBooks research style)? It was written assuming that the file .doc to power the Meatgrinder Smashwords was saved from MS Word, or one of the words of OpenOffice/LibreOffice clones for maximum compatibility. Yes, they offer you can use Apple product Pages (probably in reference to Pages ' 09). However, neither page is a clone of Word and considerable translation occurs in the document format Pages internal through export to a Word .doc document. Apple offers No warranty or recourse for the accuracy of the translation. Want more precision? Use MS Word.

    Smashwords indicates that the highest incident of discards of book and form memories ePub problems. They argue that, unless these are professionally designed and created, it is better to submit to the Word .doc format. No request for Pages is a professional quality processor, or generator of ePub.

    I start the document with a blank section. That's where I generate Table of contents of the document. The aforementioned book recommended to delete all the text boxes in the final Word document before submitting it to Smashwords - because they confuse the trainer.
