Publish an external epub file

Hi,

I have seen that Pages publish books on the store, using only files processed on the Pages program.

I need to publish to the iBook store my epub book created on Indesign.

How can I do?

Thx

Pages won't open an ePUB regardless of its source. You are dealing with the Apple Book ecosystem, and there is no Apple interest or compatibility with admitting other ePUBs generated outside of Apple's tools. As it turns out, Apple injects some Apple-specific CSS3 styles into ePUBs generated by Pages, or iBooks Author, and InDesign does not.
