INDESIGN TO EPUB (1:15–2:30)
ePub is a standard for digital books that has been adopted by many of the heavy-hitters in the eBook reader market, like Apple and Barnes & Noble. It also provides an intermediate step on the way to creating an eBook for the Kindle. We'll look at the workflow involved to repurpose existing print files and how best to prepare InDesign files for export to ePub. The session will also address the need to delve a bit into the resulting CSS and HTML files and the tweaks needed to craft a better ePub file.

BREAK (2:30-2:45)

MAGAZINE CREATION IN INDESIGN WITH ADOBE DPS (2:45–3:45)
In this session, we'll discuss how InDesign works with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite—and others like it—to create subscription-based digital publications for mobile devices. We'll take a look at the new features introduced with InDesign CS6 that make the creation process much easier. Whether you have a monthly magazine or a twice-yearly catalog, InDesign to Adobe DPS might be the solution you're looking for.

INDESIGN TO iBOOKS AUTHOR (3:45–4:30)
Apple jumped even further into the digital publishing pool in early 2012 with the introduction of iBooks Author. This free tool lets you create rich interactive, multi-gesture books for the iPad. Touted as a way to make textbooks, the uses for this tool extend to manuals, instructional text, children's books, and more. We'll discuss how InDesign fits in this Apple-centric workflow and how to repurspose existing InDesign content into this format. Lastly, the session will cover other interactive formats, such as interactive PDFs.
