Hello World!
Hello All!
In the past I have stayed away from ePub, my eyes aren't the greatest so I read PDF on a full computer screen at full screen width, or I read the printed book which is less hard on my eyes than a screen.
However I am in the process of publishing a quarterly magazine, and intend to publish ePub as well as printed and PDF, as a lot of people prefer to use an eBook reader (or their phone/tablet).
So that's me and why I'm here.
I'm typesetting the printed / PDF version with LaTeX - typesetting software common in the academic world. Plan to use tex4ht to export from LaTeX to HTML and then import into Calibre to properly format it in ePub, imagine I have a lot to learn.
Plan to publish both as ePub w/o DRM and export to Amazon's format, even though I personally am very much opposed to DRM philosophically (pirates always find a way around it, DRM almost always only hurts the honest people)
Probably will buy a kindle device, part of the magazine will have reviews of books in same genre that often are *only* published via Kindle, I won't always be the one writing the review but I at least need to read them so I can make sure the review that has been written is accurate.
Well, thank you ahead of time for the welcome wishes, hopefully what I learn reading here will help me produce the best ePub version of my coming periodical as possible.
I'll be using Calibre to test what I produce, and probably send it to my phone too (Android) to double check it there.
