Hello
I really hope I have found the right forum. I am looking for a place to talk about bringing my ebook to market. I have a novel written using indesign to format it. The book has 33 chapters, each an individual idd file.
I have exported all chps to pdf and now I need to make a book with a TOC and some other forward and statement stuff.
The thing is I have about 2 dozen little videos imbedded in the pdfs and lots of full color pictures. Some chps have multiple videos and some have none. The longest video is about a minute and the shortest about 10 seconds.
The videos arn't necessary for moving along the storyline but more of an element to make the book a more compelling read. Also, I just it would be cool to take advantage of the multi-media capabilities of pdf. Plus I am thinking with the tablet universe exploding and that multi-media ebooks will be a fast growning field.
Rich media pdf is fine for the non apple world as apple ipad and iphone won't play flash and the video engine in pdf is flash.
So inorder to market to the apple world one needs to make the videos in a format apple will display. Also, epub being the format for most readers leaves an ebook without the ability to have videos at present.
So when I format in epub I am hoping at the least I can link to a site with the videos there.
Anyway that's my story for now. Anybody else interested in this general area of endeavor?
