That would mean then that iBooks was using ADE and given that Steve Jobs doesn't like Adobe, that will never happen. So yes, it has to die.

sort of
Spoiler:

It's a little bit like when my computer had a mouse and a GUI, others in my firm couldn't see the need. Eventually it forced innovative catchup on behalf of everyone else. First the mouse and GUI, (windows) then networking, drawing, publishing They lead the way in the commercial main stream. This time Apple are dragging eBook die hards kicking and screaming into a new kind of eBook. Like a new computer OS, Macintosh, new phone, iPhone, new PDA, iPad wich iBooks is just an add on. There are scoffers and then there's the OMG we better catch up quick or get left behind.
These are my observations while using apple products since 1984. You don't have to like them. You don't have to use them. However, they are in your face and I don't think they are going away anytime soon.

Not so. ADE is also non-conforming. There is a specification and if Apple would follow it things would be much better. Here is a time where they could teach Adobe but unfortunately they have just gone a different path.

Heading is separate to the table.

That may be so, but given that ADE is used in more ten any other ePub reading software, it's the one that all the others need to be compatible with. It would be a shame to spend time making an ePub that doesn't work well in ADE since most people reading it in ePub would be doing so using ADE.

True. So I test mine in Bluefire as well as the iPad. I export from InDesign so I get to see them in ADE on screen the moment they export. Not very pretty actually. Until you start the editing. It would be nice to have a kindle as well but I have to settle for the mobipocket reader.

I guess what I'm waffling about is that it needs to look good on everything so if the actually look fantastic in iBooks . . . all the better.

I use the kindle desktop previewer to check mine, after converting to .mobi.

But yes, regardless of whether ADE is in more devices. I code for iPad, if it works there then I'm pretty safe it's going to work in ADE.

Not always. Some of the workarounds for iBooks may not be compatible of even work the same. So you might have to have two different versions. One for iBooks and one for ADE.

Yes, but that comes out in the QA Testing preview part. Unlike the other way round, For example the sans serif debacle in iBook.

Sans-serif that looks good in ADE, drops out in iBooks.
But if I code for iBooks I know 100% that the sans-serif WILL display in ADE.

Dammed if you, do dammed if you don't.

Would you mind letting me know your QA process and if testing for iBooks how do you isolate your files to stop iTunes from adding the playlist?
