Updated info on InDesign to epub and mobi ?

Hello - no one has posted to this thread for quite some time, but I am looking for other people who are using the InDesign CS5 to epub and mobi workflow on MacOSx.

I have found Liz Castro's epub book very helpful http://www.elizabethcastro.com/epub/ But it doesn't answer all of my questions.

I have also found Anne-Marie Concepcion's video tutorials at Lynda.com very helpful. http://www.lynda.com/InDesign-CS5-tu...d/75445-2.html

These are great resources but I still have issues to resolve.

I posted a new thread a few moments ago with my current experimental workflow. It has info about the software I'm using -- Sigil, Springy, BBEdit or Dreamweaver, and Amazon Kindle Previewer.

I am interested in discovering the simplest, quickest, easiest route from printed book InDesign files to epub and mobi. I'm not interested in making the ebooks look exactly like the printed books, so I've been simplifying my print design files to make the conversion go more smoothly and be compatible with as many devices/readers as possible. (HA!)

KISS -- keep it simple stupid -- is my motto at present!

If you are interested, let's start a forum for this workflow - how do you start a forum?

thank you...
