Skilled Workman Posted on by

Four years into the ebook revolution: things we know and things we don’t know – The Shatzkin Files. I received a link to this from Joel this morning. It’s a good review and an eye-opener, if you haven’t been paying attention. Mike says: “One could say (and I would) that the ereading revolution is coming up to its 4th anniversary since it was late November 2007 when Amazon first released the Kindle. There had been dedicated ereading … Continue reading →

Writing in InDesign update published…

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Today I published a carefully constructed revision of the original 7×10 book as a 6×9 book on Lulu, Createspace, and Scribd. Due to a find and replace flaw in the original, many of the “we are”s were converted to I are and all the similar permutations that go with that kind of mental clumsiness. In the process, InDesign went through a spasm and damaged several of the images, so I fixed all of that. It does all … Continue reading →

Editing ePUBs

Skilled Workman Posted on by

One of my largest frustrations with desgining ePUBs has been the difficulty of decompressing and recompressing them to edit the CSS. Today on one of the groups I work with I was sent this:   Because of the problem with the mimetype-compression, rearchiving is on the Mac only via Terminal or via script possible. One Script is called ePUB Zip 1.0.2.   This script works very well. Just Google it, and download it. It would be a … Continue reading →

Relative to page, essential for ePUB images

Skilled Workman Posted on by

I’ve been having trouble with images in my ePUBs for well over a year. I was testing again today, and for the book I was working on, changing from fixed size to relative to page made a huge difference on the iPad. I had been using Adobe Digital Editions to make my judgements and fixed size at 300 dpi works a lot better there. But for the iPad, relative to page solved my problems (as long as … Continue reading →
