From Indesign to iPad, Kindle, and Nook: Typesetting eBooks

Once the book is properly formatted within Indesign, it can be exported to the various formats needed to go to Amazon, Apple, and Barnes and Noble. Each format has its quirks and bugs—the iPad has trouble centering text; the Kindle doesn’t know what to do with DropCaps: and the Nook likes to chop off the last hyphenated syllable of the last word in a sentence (centered text only; go figure); just to name a few. Of the three, the iPad currently offers the most robust formatting.

I made a modest order to start off. So, if you know in advance that you really, really want one, let me know size and qty. so I can get an idea of whether or not I need to order more. Thank you! I want to see the quality first hand before I price them, but I’m thinking a ballpark figure of $14 (give or take $2).
