Adobe ePub Training

ePub is an electronic format that has become the industry standard, allowing eBooks that use this format to be read on a wide variety of eReaders. Read your book on the Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Kindle (and on your Mac/PC), Sony Reader, Nook and many more. The electronic publication (ePub) format is an eBook file format that can be opened and read on any eBook reader that implements the standard.

Using Adobe InDesign, you can export your document or eBook file directly to the ePub format.
