Good, hope one works for you.

A little of both. My publisher is getting it onto amazon (print and kindle) and itunes so for those the formatting will be what is required and fairly straight forward. I'm not sure if iBooks will be able to sell the enhanced epub3 FF file or not (waiting to here back from my publisher), if not we have a non-enhanced (no audio) version to send them. And of course its wonderful to have the book sold as many places as possible but I also like being able to sell it directly from my website to customers both to cement the customer/seller relationship and so I don't have to share any of the $$ with Apple or Amazon or whomever.

Well, there's no reason under the sun that the audio version should not be saleable--I'm a bit boggled that he's "waiting to hear back" from them--just upload it via iTunes Publisher/Transporter, and trust me, if there's an issue, they'll let you know. Their book-publishing support is pretty limited. I have done books with audio that are up on iBooks now, so I don't see any reason for you to even bat an eyelash worrying about it. How do you plan to handle DRM from your website, if you do?

INDD seems to do a pretty complete job with FF, what am I missing?
|
{shrug}, can't say, really, other than the amount of crap coding that INDD puts in is pretty enormous. I'm a bit of an old-school kinda girl, I like my ebooks as simply-coded as humanly possible. Don't get me wrong, we do a
LOTTA INDD books (both our own, and files we intake from print publishers and layout folks who don't want to be bothered), but when it comes to the FF stuff, I prefer the "less-is-more" approach. That's all.
