I have formatted a Pages ebook that I want to make into an epub. I used floating photos and shawdows, and background color page, looks good in pdf, but won't convert.
Is there a template (other than the boring one on Apple - or having to purchase Design) that I can use and transfer (photos inline) Pages? Thanks!

I suspect a bunch of Pages' special effects like the drop shadows, reflections etc are not available in eBooks.
If you wanted those you might have to create the photos with the effect as one image and place that inline in the eBook.
Not a fan of background color in layouts unless used sparingly, but that may have to also be generated as a complete image.

Thanks Peter.
The background page color was more of a light beige, which enhance the look of the e-book and photos. I know what you mean though.
I'm looking more for a template that is comparable to the .pdf. I've tried Sigil, but that seems so limiting with what one can do with Pages and the outcome.
Thanks for your help.
Hi! Even though I don't create ePub books I know that floating images doesn't work.Download the ePub template from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168 .
It will give you an idea of what you can do and what you can't. Also take your time and read the information.
Thanks fruhulda.
I think you meant to send a different link page — this goes to "iWork '09 retail boxes."
Yes, I know floating photos aren't accepted, only inline.
I did download the Apple Epub Practice template and read thru that.
That's probably what you meant.
Thanks!
Good you found the right page. The link is right but it changes to another one. I have tried again nad it should work but it seems that Apple redirect the link.

It seems if you actively copy and paste the link it works but if you just click on the link redirects to the page you saw.!!! Nor can I today get rid of the underlining!!!!
