Pages-to-EPUB workaround

For those interested in writing ebooks for the iPad directly through the Apple iTunes contract: There is an article with a workaround workflow so that most of the formatting and inline graphics could be carried over into an .epub document.

The article describing the Pages-to-EPUB workaround workflow is in the "How to Articles" at http://ezepub.com . Other free Author and ePublisher resources are there as well.

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link. <Edited by Host>

I myself would ten million times rather use Pages than ID in any situation whatever, but however much I might want it to do so, it just can't cut the cheese

Funny! Lots of mixed software uses and metaphors flying around.

Incidentally, although I haven't used Quark in many years, they announced an improved ebook workflow a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks, but no thanks. No more Quark in my bag.

Hi all

I have a problem with Pages (latest version) and uploading my ebook to Apple's iBookstore. Apple says that PDF can be used with Pages 4.0.5 and used as an ePub. Doesn;t give any example of this. I have written a 112 page book using the DTP mode of Pages. Output it as a PDF and transferred it to my iPad. Works fine. Tried to upload it to Apple and I can't select it as a PDF. Change the .PDF to .pub and it's icon changes to a . pub doc, I can now select it but it doesn't upload. The error is: that the file contains more than one resource.

What's the score withPages, PDF and ePub?
