- Creating and distributing ebooks
has become significantly easier
and more accessible over time.
The tricky bit is knowing which format
is right for your projects.
Ebooks have come a long way,
in terms of developing industry-wide standards,
including Epub, which is now
the most widely supported formats.
But if you're serious about distributing
your ebook far and wide,
you can't ignore Amazon's Kindle format.
This is a proprietary format,
that is only available on Amazon.
If you're new to design,
and want to produce and publish your own book,
Apple's iBooks Author is a beautiful
and easy to use solution,
if you're okay with your book
being available on Apple devices only.
One more great option is Adobe's Publish Online.
An easy to use tool that allows you to publish
directly from InDesign, as long as you aren't planning
on monetizing your book.
The technology around ebooks is always evolving,
so research the various platforms often,
so you have the most up to date specs on each one.
