Your first page will actually be your book cover and has to be one piece. Hold down Shift-Command (PC: Shift-Ctrl), click on the page to unlock this frame, and press the Delete (PC: Backspace) key.
Also check the Delete Empty Pages box, and click OK.īecause we enabled the Master Text Frame checkbox in the previous step, your first page will have a text frame on it, but we don’t need it. Go to InDesign (PC: Edit)>Preferences>Type and make sure that the Smart Text Reflow and Limit to Master Text Frames checkboxes are enabled. This way as you write your book, InDesign will automatically add new pages as needed. InDesign CS4 introduced Smart Text Reflow, and this is a perfect time to use it. Enable the Facing Pages and Master Text Frame checkboxes in the New Document dialog, and click OK. Therefore, go to File>New>Document to create a new 5.5×8.25″ document. Let’s take a look at the workflow.Īlthough we’re creating an eBook that can be scaled and reflowed to any size the device displays, it’s probably still a good idea to create a document that more closely resembles a book. I created my first iBook for iPad using InDesign CS5.
The good news is that they went with the industry standard EPUB format, and the even better news is that InDesign exports EPUBs natively. One of the things I was most intrigued by was the format that Apple chose for their eBooks (iBooks).
There’s no denying that the Apple iPad is a popular and successful product.
