The CEO of my company has asked that I look into eBooks and the EPUB

I know nothing about this, so I'm on a real learning curve here. The first
thing I notice is that Adobe is pushing InDesign as the vehicle to create
eBooks. This is a real stumbling block for me. We've got over 15 years
invested in FrameMaker and all our docs are created and maintained in
FrameMaker. My "books" are delivered as PDFs. I am loathe to shift from
FrameMaker to InDesign given our extensive history with FrameMaker.
My question is, can I create eBooks and EPUB documents from FrameMaker, or
am I truly locked in to InDesign for the eBooks and EPUB standard? If I
can use FrameMaker, where would I find information about using FrameMaker
to create eBooks and EPUB documents?
Richard,
ePublisher Pro has been able to create ePUB output since the 2010.2
release. This is fairly straight-forward to accomplish with FrameMaker
source documents. ePublisher handles all ePUB 2.0 packaging
requirements and offers support for configuring splash page images under
various readers.
You can check out a segment on building ePUB deliverables with
ePublisher here:
47:50 into the session
<http://www.webworks.com/Recordings/2010/09/Show%20Me%20-%20September%202010/>
The segment also discusses inherent limitations you may encounter with
various ePUB readers and demonstrates ePublisher options to address them
(large image handling, wide table layouts, etc.)
