The next step from paperback?

Skilled Workman Posted on July 14, 2011 by David BergslandJuly 14, 2011

Challenging Times « Marketing Christian Books. Sometimes I am just ‘slap in the forehead’ dumb. Somehow I missed the parallel between what happened with the pocket book in the 1930s and what is going on with the ebook today. My only problem, as a typographer, is finding an ereader I can tolerate graphically. I have no doubt it will come soon. How do you think it fits in the scheme of things?

Writing books in InDesign

Skilled Workman Posted on June 29, 2011 by David BergslandJuly 26, 2024

Here I am again recommending a road less traveled by—not unusual in my life and work. Before the choruses rise up in defense of others, let me tell you my reasonings. I fully recognize that most people write in Word. What they do not realize [in most cases] is this simple fact starts their book under a great handicap. They are missing out on the best tools for communicating with readers. At this point, I have been … Continue reading →

Writing in InDesign: Part 6, Fixing the ePUB CSS

Skilled Workman Posted on June 28, 2011 by David BergslandJune 28, 2011

ePUB CSS Repair Once you have your ePUB It will usually open in ADE (depending on what you have installed on your computer). Proof it carefully. Redo as necessary. If your computer is like mine, the graphics will be very poor in ADE. Basically ADE is very crude. Then drop a copy of the ePUB file onto iTunes and sync it into iBooks on your iPad to read it in iBooks. The reason you need to use … Continue reading →

I just added CSS editing instructions to the free ePUB design booklet

Skilled Workman Posted on June 21, 2011 by David BergslandJune 21, 2011

There is nothing long and extended here, because I remain convinced that most book designers consider coding anathema. But after finding the script I mentioned earlier today, I have found several interesting things that can be easily fixed in the ePUB. Edit the CSS if you can (or don’t if you can’t) The problem with this has been the difficulty with decompressing the .epub file and then recompressing back into .epub. For that you will need a … Continue reading →

Editing ePUBs

Skilled Workman Posted on June 21, 2011 by David BergslandJune 21, 2011

One of my largest frustrations with desgining ePUBs has been the difficulty of decompressing and recompressing them to edit the CSS. Today on one of the groups I work with I was sent this:   Because of the problem with the mimetype-compression, rearchiving is on the Mac only via Terminal or via script possible. One Script is called ePUB Zip 1.0.2.   This script works very well. Just Google it, and download it. It would be a … Continue reading →

O, yes we are! Here’s some reality orientation for those of you, like me, who write and teach as a major part of your ministry for the Lord. I’ll let the stats speak for themselves. We really need to design easy to read, comfortable to read typography. We need to give our readers all the help we can.
