This will also serve the purpose of lessening the strength of the sidebars making them into what they are supposed to be: supportive reading for the good readers.
Now we can indicate a sidebar with a colored background. With a single-column story as we find in reflow ePUBs and MOBIs, sidebars need to be dropped into the normal stream of the story. So, what’s the big deal?įirst of all, it gives us something with which to convert our sidebars. The only option with lower quality is Smashwords. On a quality level between 1 and 10, I’d give it a 2 or 3. Always remember, Kindle is not a quality option for ebooks-it is simply the most popular option. But it will be missing many of the easy things you put into your ePUBs. Kindle Previewer seems to convert the ePUB3 into something readable. However, it is a pain that there is now yet another reason why your Kindle books need a separate document with its own formatting.Īs you know, I recently posted that it is necessary to export an IDML version of your ebook and then use CS6 to export your Kindle book. Surprised? Why? Kindle is getting further and further behind as they rest on their laurels. First the negative: it doesn’t work in Kindle. This is something I’ve been asking for over the past five or six years as ePUBs have become a viable way to sell books. It finally allows us to use shading in back of a paragraph which exports beautifully to ePUB3. However, one of the new abilities is very helpful. There’s been a huge amount of work put into InDesign CC (2015), but most of it does not apply to us: producers of the artwork published as books in print and as ebooks.

The whole paradigm of the subscription model is that the applications keep getting better and you get an automatic update as soon as it is released. My custom GREP scripts move to ID 2015 fine.But that’s to be expected. I’m not sure why that custom template got lost. Simply creating and apply a new 6×9-inch page size template to the document seems to fix the problem. It’s be good if that’d become a feature, so all these quirks could go bye bye.īy the way, as I posted to ID Secrets, for some reason a 6×9 book came into ID-2015 without its custom 6×9 page size template and with the page formatting looking bad.
I know Adobe has discussed making it possible for users to specify who an epub is for on export. I just tried epub export in ID-2016 and got the same error message. It seems to have only grudgingly gone along with epub submissions.

It’s bad in that it wishes all submissions would be in a simplified Word for Windows format. I suggested to her that it be better if Smashwords had an automated script that’d simply remove that offending file, apparently to no avail. Then, re-upload at Dashboard > Upload New Version.

You can delete the Apple file and close the zip window. If you double click that, you will see container.xml and that Apple display options file. Generally, you can unzip the file and you should see a folder that says META-INF. How you do that is based on how you created the. So, you can remove any Apple-specific coding if the issue continues. However, anything that specifies how a book looks at a specific retailer is not needed in the EPUB file. “Keep in mind that we distribute to many retailers, so we have to combine and accept their requirements when it comes to books on our site. One of their staff was kind enough to tell me to remove an Apple-specific from the epub file and all would be fine. This may be similar to an earlier problem I had with a Smashwords rejection. Until it looks OK in ADE they’ll not take it. It passes epub validation with Smashwords but they reject it for sending to B&N etc, because it looks awful in ADE. The mobi version they created looks fine in Kindle apps.ĥ. But Amazon took that epub and converted it to mobi without a complaint. It looks awful in Amazon’s dreadful Java preview apps with the images taken on distorted V v H ratios. The exported epub looks fine in iBooks and Apple has no problem with it.Ĥ. A search for that error message for ID drew a blank.ģ. No clue as to what that troublesome object is. Aspect ratio is not maintained when Width or Height is zero.” Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS. “The file was exported but one or more problems were detected:

Unfortunately, it does not tell me how to fix it. So it does know that it is doing something that some might regard as a no-no. InDesign does give an error about zero-sized graphics when it exports without any details. I’d hope it would at least give me warning that would make sense of what was happening. The document passes the epub validator fine. There are snakes and dragons and orcs living there.ġ. I don’t go into the exported Epub when I can possibly avoid it. Hey, I’m a mere mortal not a CSS Superhero.
