InDesign to iBooks
I am designing a textbook using InDesign. Once it's finally done, the clients want to produce iBook and ebook versions to sell through the usual places. I have a few questions about what I need to learn in advance of the inDesign/iBook conversion process.
First, which are the best applications for this process? Beside iBook Author for the sales in iBooks/iTunes store, which authoring software should I consider?
And second, has anyone here found a good source for figuring out the conversion fees? Like many designers I know, flat fees are how I charge before the author or client asks for changes.
There's a third, too, but it's obviously too complex for a straightforward answer: HOW?! Since the book will have more elements than a novel or nonfiction book, that's a different story.
