  Threepress: Digital tools for 21st century publishing — Authority: 556
  InDesign CS4 is one of the most popular tools for creating ePubs, but the range of options it provides when exporting can confound many users. While I’m not a wizened InDesign expert, I have accumulated a set of choices for the various options that differ from the defaults and can help form the basis of high-quality ...

• About that ePub logo, Mike: A friendly jog for the IDPF

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 657
  Ugh, it’s time to broach the topic again. Why the devil doesn’t the International Digital Publishing Forum have an ePub logo so its format standard can compete better against the Kindle’s? The IDPF said it would unveil a contest for the best logo design, but I haven’t seen a follow-up. I’ve emailed ...

• Vertical text in ePub/CSS: not there yet

  
  Threepress: Digital tools for 21st century publishing — Authority: 556
  Languages aren’t just written right-to-left or left-to-right , of course. They can also be written top-to-bottom, as in Chinese. How can you indicate that a block of text should be rendered vertically rather than horizontally? In ePub, you can’t. I was surprised to discover that the subset of CSS supported by ...

• Bidirectional text in ePub

  
  Threepress: Digital tools for 21st century publishing — Authority: 556
  Languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are written right-to-left (RTL) rather than left-to-right (LTR), as in European languages. When dealing with only one of those scripts at a time, computers generally handle the directionality well by just falling back on the user’s general language setting. But what if you have to ...

  Threepress: Digital tools for 21st century publishing — Authority: 556
  [Todays guest post is by Keith Fahlgren. - Liza ] The three ePub specifications (OPF, OPS, and OCF) include a lot of detail on ebook metadata and markup, but do not include a technique for describing covers.

• Two weeks with an Astak 5”: Formats and shortcomings

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 657
  Photo Note: My auto-focus digital camera had a little trouble getting good shots of the screen; no matter what I do, the shots tend to turn out slightly off-focus. The shots may look blurry, but suffice it to say that’s a problem with my camera—in person, the reader is quite as crisp and clear as printed text. ...

• Three useful XML schemas in publishing

  
  Threepress: Digital tools for 21st century publishing — Authority: 556
  If I say that a document is in “XML”, I’m not really saying anything very specific. All I’ve told you is that the document has some text wrapped in various angle-brackets, and that those angle-brackets are “well-formed.” A well-formed XML document just means one in which the angle-brackets open and close ...

• What’s in an identifier?

  
  Threepress: Digital tools for 21st century publishing — Authority: 556
  ePub books are supposed to have a unique identifier: the Dublin Core identifier found in the OPF file. Unfortunately, the ePub spec doesn’t have any mechanism to enforce the uniqueness of the ID, so we live in a world where in fact many many epubs don’t have truly unique identifiers (or indeed, any identifiers ...

  3stepADS - Free Advertising Blog — Authority: 587
  If you are planning to start a printing or books publishing company, think again. With everyone calling to go green, eventually print is dead and we will be living in a paperless world.
