>> Rorohiko: They just keep making ePubCrawler better, and it's still donation-ware! ePubCrawler is a Fixed Layout ePub Assistant for InDesign. The highly-customizable script takes an InDesign document and converts it to a fixed-layout ePub (think kid's books, cookbooks, photography books, etc.) ready to upload to your favorite reseller. This turns a job that normally takes dozens of hours into minutes! Watch any of their six tutorial videos to see how it works. For InDesignSecrets fans: anybody who donates US$50 or more now will get a free license if and when they release it commercially, like a home-grown Kickstarter!
